Subject: Getting started with OpenSSH and SFTP: key setup

 
Hi,

I'm getting started on an SFTP project, trying to follow the steps in an
article by Scott Klement, "The SSH, SCP and SFTP Tools from OpenSSH."

I got to the part "Generating Server Keys" 

Did this:  Call QP2Term

Did this: cd /QOpenSys/QIBM/UserData/SC1/OpenSSH/openssh-3.5p1/etc

Did this:    ssh-keygen -N "" -t rsa1 -f ssh_host_key 

Got the message: 
Couldn't get password entry for current user (1224): File name too long
ssh-rand-helper child produced insufficient data               

Is this an authority issue, or is there something else I'm missing?
