Try reading the man/info pages. It takes a little reading, but it's rather easy. You just need to generate at least one keypair first---
Good luck --- and sorry it's not more explicit, I've been gaming and so i'm on the wrong side of the fence

Well I tried the man pages, but that seems to be another problem altogether as it seems my man pages are scrambled or something. I'm going to have to jump to another forum to figure it out. Thanks.

For scrambled manpages, make sure you upgrade /etc/man.conf.

simply run the sshd startscript. It should generate the keys U need.
"/etc/init.d/sshd start" |

You can manually generate new host keys yourself, something like this:
| Code: | ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N ""
ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N ""
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -N ""
