[Steffen asked:] How is the (dynamic?) traffic allowance planned to be realized on vnphost? I'm not quite sure what your question means. I think the answer is that we're using promiscuous interface(s) to listen for all traffic. Allowed traffic is forwarded. All other traffic is allowed to drop.

I'd even go beyond what Alan said, since I don't treat any system or network as "trusted." Deleting the keys on the source system should be all you need to do for new clones. Deleting them from the existing guests and restarting sshd will be enough for the rest. People who have already accessed

I'd never thought about it before, but a customer pointed out that when you clone a system, each Linux clone has the same Host RSA key fingerprint as it's master. I can't think of anything that would cause a problem with. On the other hand, if they wanted to regenerate the keys, does it take mo
