The creation of new keyfiles is caused by the startup of sshd (see /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd for details). Once you prevent sshd from starting, copy your existing key files to /etc/ssh, THEN you can let sshd start. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
