[SLUG] Regenerate OpenSSH host keys on cloned/replica server

2011-07-03 Thread Simon Males
I feel that it's best/better practice to regenerate OpenSSH host keys
on a clonsed/replica server.

The closest thing to a reason I have is that keys are meant to be unique?

Is my logic in check?

Yes, it is.  The identification for your host should be unique on a
network, and so sharing an identity with another host, doesn't allow
it to be unique.  If it's not unique it may make identification of
that host a bit more complex.
