[root at pld64 ~]# service sshd start
Generating public/private rsa1 key pair.
Saving key "/etc/ssh/ssh_host_key" failed: unknown or unsupported key type
chmod: cannot access '/etc/ssh/ssh_host_key': No such file or directory
OpenSSH service is not running.
No SSH host key found! You must run "/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd init" first.

[root at pld64 ~]# rpm -q openssh-server
openssh-server-7.1p1-4.x86_64

[root at pld64 ~]# service sshd init
Now the SSH host key will be generated. Please note, that if you
will use password for the key, you will need to type it on each
reboot.
