openssh ecdsa issue

[Yann Rouillard]

Hi Don,

You need to install the openssh_client 6.x package on the server to be able
to generate an ecdsa key.
Just install
http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/allpkgs/openssh_client-6.0p1%2cREV%3d2012.05.04-SunOS5.9-i386-CSW.pkg.gzand
run this command:

    /opt/csw/bin/ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -N "" -f   /etc/opt/csw/ssh/ssh_host_
ecdsa_key

We will fix this bug in stable so that it doesn't happen again.

Yann
