[ale] ssh version 1 and ssh -X

[Dow Hurst]

You can read the man page to figure how to setup the command line OR

the simple way out is to grep the Makefiles under the ssh compile for 
the auto-key generation line when it runs the installation routines.  
That was how I grabbed it quick when I wanted to regenerate the host 
key.  Just grep for ssh-keygen in the Makefiles and you will eventually 
find it.

OFFTOPIC tidbit:
For those not using OpenSSH but using ssh.com's version of ssh and 
having need to compile for MIPS-1 or MIPS-2 for an SGI Indy or Indigo2, 
you have to take the "-n32" option out of the configure.in script where 
compile options are passed.  You have to touch the file to the same date 
or you will need some configure processing tool that you really don't 
need.  And, finally you have to set the C_FLAGS and LD_FLAGS variables 
to contain "-mips-2" by setting these as environment variables.  Only 
then can you run configure and make.  I was trying to compile on an 
Octane which is MIPS-4 and passing "-mips-2" but the "-n32" option 
overrides the "-mips-2".  Then, you can tar gzip the whole directory 
structure, move it to your target machine, gunzip, untar, and run make 
install.  I imagine the basic procedure could work for other 
architectures once the flags were set correctly.  I used SGI's cc and 
not gcc.  Haven't had to deal with this in the Linux world yet.
