Hi Guilhem, I would like to use a fresh hostkey for dropbear running during init. You see I find it quite jarring for me to unexpectedly land in an earlyboot environment without warning when ssh'ing in (because there was a power outage, say). To fix this I configure init to use an IP address distinct from the system proper. In that setup there's really no point to reusing the hosts' private keys and expose them in the initrd unencrypted. Would you accept a patch to allow configuring the dropbear hook behaviour to generate a new host key instead of reusing the host's key? Thanks, --Daniel
