Does Angstrom offer an ssh-keygen software product in the console image
for BeagleBone Black?

Thanks

angstrom comes with dropbear installed which uses dropbearkey to generated ssh-keys. Dropbear uses its own type of sshkey and is tricky to use with other computers running openssh (or the server in  my university dont like it), so I usually remove dropbear and install openssh and then can use the regular ssh-heygen

Pedro, thank you. I solved my immediate problem by using ssh-keygen on
another computer to get the key pairs I needed. I will look into your
solution of removing dropbear and installing openssh instead.

Well I can see I'm on the stupid side today. I ssh'ed into my Beaglebone
Black, removed dropbear...and lost my ssh connection. Of course.
