Operating Systems Solaris Change from weak ssh host key to strong one Post 303036240 by Neo on Thursday 20th of June 2019 05:25:02 AM

Yes, when you replace keys you need to repeat the same process as when you first installed them.

Normally, you do not need to delete the old keys, as the system will take care of it.

I did this recently (between my MacPro and Linux servers) and simply generated new keys and then installed per the normal install process and all worked out fine.

On Solaris, I am guessing the process is similar, but I don't have any Solaris boxes to play with, sorry.

keylogout(1)							   User Commands						      keylogout(1)

NAME
keylogout - delete stored secret key with keyserv SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/keylogout [-f] DESCRIPTION
keylogout deletes the key stored by the key server process keyserv(1M). Further access to the key is revoked; however, current session keys might remain valid until they expire or are refreshed. Deleting the keys stored by keyserv causes any background jobs or scheduled at(1) jobs that need secure RPC services to fail. Since only one copy of the key is kept on a machine, it is a bad idea to place a call to this command in your .logout file since it affects other sessions on the same machine. If multiple NIS+ authentication mechanisms are configured for the system, then all keys stored by the key server process is deleted, including keys that are no longer configured. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -f Force keylogout to delete the secret key for the superuser. By default, keylogout by the superuser is disallowed because it would break all RPC services, such as NFS, that are started by the superuser. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE ATTRIBUTE VALUE | |Availability SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ SEE ALSO
at(1), chkey(1), login(1), keylogin(1), keyserv(1M), newkey(1M), nisauthconf(1M), publickey(4), attributes(5) NOTES
NIS+ might not be supported in future releases of the Solaris operating system. Tools to aid the migration from NIS+ to LDAP are available in the current Solaris release. For more information, visit http://www.sun.com/directory/nisplus/transition.html. SunOS 5.11 2 Dec 2005 keylogout(1)
