openssh ecdsa issue

[Don Ratliff]

Hi all, first post here, thanks for help in advance...

i ran across this issue and subsequent posting in your users list

Hi, 

Indeed someone else reported the same problem recently. It seems ssh and
ssh_client weren't synchronized together in testing. Until this is
fixed, you can download the corresponding ssh client package at the
following url: 

http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/allpkgs/openssh_client-6.0p1%2cREV%
3d2012.05.04-SunOS5.9-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz

        Hello I'm getting the sshd complaining about
        /etc/opt/csw/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key - cannot load
        
        I tried to generate it - with /opt/csw/bin/ssh-keygen -t ecdsa
        -f .....
        
        no luck -> unknown key type ecdsa
        
        openssh                     6.0p1,REV=2012.05.04
        openssh_client           5.4p1,REV=2010.03.25
        
        
        Is this a bug - or am I doing something stupidly wrong ?
        
        --thanks
        
        
        ----------------------------------------------
        
        so my take on this is the recommended solution above is asking
        the user to install the latest ssh client on solaris ( 9?)...
        
        my situation is slightly different, i.e. i connect to the
        solaris server running openssh ( csw ) from various clients,
        specifically centos and others in my group use putty from a
        windows system.  
        my /var/adm/messages files on the server are constantly filling
        up with the error message: 

sshd[9510]: [ID 800047 auth.error] error: Could not load host
key: /etc/opt/csw/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key


and would prefer to eliminate this from my log files...

is there anything i can do from the server side to eliminate this?  i.e.
is there a later version 


-bash-3.2$ pkginfo -l CSWopenssh
