I recently updated to OPENssh 3.0.2p1 and have started seeing the following
message in the system log:

Mar 22 15:14:17 ap-bck02 sshd[14911]: [ID 800047 auth.info] WARNING:
/usr/local/etc/moduli does not exist, using old modulus

I also see this message on new installs.
What generates the moduli file?
Is this a problem?

"make install" is supposed to.

It's the new name of the "primes" file. If you have /usr/local/etc/primes,
just rename it to moduli (or symlink it).
