lsh-utils for Debian
2
--------------------
3
 
4
Versions of lsh since 1.3.6 have required a random seed file for both the
5
server and the client (one for each user in the latter case). These random
6
seeds will be automatically generated when the lsh-server is started for the
7
first time.
8
 
9
As an alternative, you can of course use the old way to have the seed
10
generated. For this you need the lsh-utils package installed. After removing
11
the automatically generated seed (/var/spool/lsh/yarrow-seed-file) you have to
12
run "lsh-make-seed --server" (as root) to generate the random seed.
13
 
14
For security reasons (otherwise the timing information will be broken) this
15
needs to be run from a local console.

Using the lsh-client
18
--------------------
19
 
20
To use the lsh client, all a user needs to do is run lsh-make-seed and type
21
the necessary data. lsh-make-seed stores user's random seed files in
22
~/.lsh/yarrow-seed-file.
23
 
24
By default, the host key is captured to ~/.lsh/captured_keys - you need to put
25
the appropriate key in ~/.lsh/known_hosts. This is best achieved by:
26
 
27
lsh --sloppy-host-authentication --capture-to=~/.lsh/known_hosts <host>

Some notes about the sftp-server
30
--------------------------------
31
 
32
The used sftp-server has been renamed to sftp-server.lsh, due to a manpage
33
called sftp-server.8.gz already existing in the ssh package.
