Having new installations of Slackware-14.2 on three hosts now (two more to go after I get these three fully functional), I want to change my ssh private and public keys using a new passphrase and type.
Now, ~/.ssh/ contains authorized_keys, known_hosts, and id_dsa. My web search finds suggestions to use Ed25519, which 'man ssh-keygen' lists as an option. And, /etc/ssh/ contains the following files: moduli ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub ssh_host_rsa_key.pub ssh_config ssh_host_ed25519_key sshd_config ssh_config.works ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub sshd_config.works ssh_host_dsa_key ssh_host_key supervise/ ssh_host_dsa_key.pub ssh_host_key.pub ssh_host_ecdsa_key ssh_host_rsa_key So, rather than changing the passphrase (the '-p' option to ssh-keygen) do I just generate a new one for all hosts, specifying Ed25519 as the encryption algorithm? And, remove all current files in ~/.ssh/? Advice needed so I get it all correct and cleaned up the first time.
