Greetings,
So, I logged in as 'glenda', set up my network interface and tried
to connect via 'ssh' to certain unix host. 'ssh' said I need to generate key
pair first.
I did
disk/kfscmd allow
aux/ssh_genkey
And I got a pair of key files belonging to 'glenda.sys' in common
directory /sys/lib/ssh/
So, the question is how about another (real) users that might log on to
the same terminal host ? How to make them use the same host keys ?
Thanks for your explainations, especially if they are about
not-too-unix-way :>

You don't need to be able to read
the secret key -- it just has to exist.
I'm not exactly sure why that is, but
I suspect it's an artifact of having the
server and client compile from the same
libraries.
The host secret key is only used when
running as a server; the protocol never
touches it when running as a client,
except to do RSA_RHOSTS authentication,
which we don't support.
You can generate keys for yourself
by using aux/ssh_genkey $home/lib/ssh
and that will create ssh.secret, ssh.public,
and ssh.public10 (suitable for sharing with
Unix systems). See the ssh man page for more.
