SSH Help - ssh-keygen problem 1

[artfulbodger]

I am hoping someone can help me with this rather strange error I am getting when trying to set up ssh on a new Solaris 10 x86 install.

When I try to run ssh-keygen to create a key for my server, it errors out with ssh-keygen: cannot execute

Let me start by saying that I have installed a FULL distribution on this machine before and gotten SSH working with no problems. All I did was remove the hard drive, replace it with a similar model and install just the core distribution

What I first noticed was that SSH wasn't installed - no problem. I located the packages and installed them via pkgadd.

Now, I need to create the SSH key but I cannot get the keygen to execute (I double checked rwx permissions, too). I googled the error and cannot find anything relevant. Is there something (i.e. a package or library) I am missing that will make this work?

Thanks in advance!

You are certain the package was for x86 and not Sparc?

I want to be good, is that not enough?

OMG. You are my hero and I am officially the Solaris idiot for today. I was creating a Jumpstart server and changed to the Sparc CD.

Thanks a bunch. You saved some sanity.

Glad to help - we all do something similar from time to time.

Just to add a comment here, 'cannot execute' is a classic 'wrong architecture' message that Ken mentioned above. When I see that, 9/10 times that's the issue.
