Atlas Probe does not install on current version

Trying to setup a Atlas Probe using https://forum.openwrt.org/t/ripe-atlas-probe-in-openwrt/168721

The instructions there fail at step 2.

root@OpenWrt:/etc/atlas#  /etc/init.d/atlas create_key
Unknown argument -b
Usage: ssh-keygen -t <type> -f <filename> [-s bits]
-t type	Type of key to generate. One of:
		rsa
		ed25519
-f filename    Use filename for the secret key.
               ~/.ssh/id_dropbear is recommended for client keys.
-s bits	Key size in bits, should be a multiple of 8 (optional)
           Ed25519 has a fixed size of 256 bits
-y		Just print the publickey and fingerprint for the
		private key in <filename>.
-C		Specify the key comment (email).

}

Fixing this is a bit of a mystery to me ... any help appreciated.

Did you ask @olekstomek or @dave14305 ?

Seems like an invalid argument in /etc/init.d/atlas for ssh-keygen.

Looks like it needs openssh-keygen
