I have a hopefully simple question on setup for sshd.
I recently switched my server from rshd to sshd and it works fine. I am
using public key authentication.
However the wrinkle is that this server has two different linux partitions
which I need to alternate between (strictly only one at a time, not a
virtual machine setup). With rshd they both appeared to be identical as
far as rsh authentication. With sshd, when I booted the second one, and
then tried an ssh to it from another machine, of course I got
WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!
... rsa fingerprint ... etc etc.
I realize that this is exactly what sshd is designed to do, to detact
impersonation of the server, but unfortunately that's exactly what I need to
do (but of course don't want any other impersonator to be recognized).
I could try just overwriting the second server partition's
/usr/local/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
with the first one - but is that the right way? Would that cause other
problems? Hoping someone else has come across this and there is some
recognized solution to this.
