[opensuse] does the installer collect sshd keys from previous install
Hi, I installed opensuse 10.3 on a box which had another old suse distro on it. I did a new install (not upgrade), custom partitioned the drive etc. To my surprise the sshd keypairs are the same as from the old install (I checked against a backup). So does the installer collect them while inspecting the drives and then installs them? Nice feature if so, something very wrong if not. I used the i386 KDE CD of OpenSuse 10.3.

Did you protect the contents of /home? If so that's why. The keys are stored in ~/.ssh . -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I think he means the ssh keypairs in /etc/ssh/ - If so, the question becomes, was it an upgrade or a clean install? Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If so, the question becomes, was it an upgrade or a clean install? Clean install as mentioned, old partitions deleted and new ones created.

IIRC YaST does that. Stano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
