Anyone know what the message "Cannot access private key" means during PIX startup?

I am running a PIX515 and I just upgraded to 6.3(4). I am reconfiguring the PIX and currently it is doing nothing but very basic connectivity.

Here is the startup:

Seems that your hostname or domain name changed and the ssh rsa key is not valid !

Do that to fix it:

ca zeroize rsa key

ca gen rsa key 1024

ca save all

hope that helps

Got it!

Thanks for the help. I have a couple of other minor issues but I will put them in separate posts.

Thanks again,

Doug.

Sorry about that. I did not know I needed to.
