+message "${MESSAGE_COLOR}
+Several of the lsh programs requires a good pseudorandomness generator
+for secure operation. The first thing you need to do is to create a seed file
+for the generator. To create a personal seed file,
+stored as ~/.lsh/yarrow-seed-file, run
+
+lsh-make-seed
+
+To create a seed file for use by lshd, run
+
+lsh-make-seed --server
+
+as root. The seed file is stored as /var/spool/lsh/yarrow-seed-file.
+
+
+To run lshd, you must first create a hostkey,
+usually stored in /etc/lsh_host_key. To do this, run
+
+lsh-keygen --server | lsh-writekey --server
+
+This will also create a file /etc/lsh_host_key.pub,
+containing the corresponding public key.
