William:

    You need an SSH2 private key(for historical and technical reasons,
ssh2's default key algorithm is not compatible with ssh1's).  Find the
directory containing your sshd_config (/etc/ssh on redhat, /usr/local/etc on
a standard ./configure; make; make install), and run the following command
in that directory as root:

    ssh-keygen -t dsa -f ssh_host_dsa_key

    Now start SSHD; it'll work fine.

Mr. Lindstrom,

I am trying to upgrade from ssh1 to ssh2.  I am getting the following error
when I start sshd:

Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key

SSHD does start, however, ssh1 is functional, but ssh2 is not.

Please advise,

William
