ssh loading during boot up and getting rid of an encrypttion failing

[nathaniel]

how do I get sshd to run during boot up or for that matter wu.ftp?

also I tried connecting to my box via ssh once I manully got it running and I got a message that there was an encryption error and it will not be secure.

I installed ssh 1 (for compatabily reasons w/ my other servers, I forget what exact number but it was the latest one) then just ran ./configure, make and make install

no other box has this key encryption error and they all have the same package version and OS.

To install ssh1 you do a ./configure, make and then su to root to do the make install. In order to get ssh to fire up when you start your box up, add a line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local that says /usr/local/sbin/sshd and you're done. To start ssh without restarting the box, as root type in /usr/local/sbin/sshd and hit enter.

I think to get sshd working you also have to login locally and run ssh-keygen, pick passwd and then log in remote
as far as stating it i just added a line at the bottom of /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
sshd
Also edit host allow file:
/etc/hosts.allow
all
sshd:all

Thats gottin it workin for me before.
