I've installed Openssh on my Linux AS3 server. I created the public/private keys and now I want to change the passphrase, but I don't know how to. Can anyone please help me out.

You can change your SSH Passphrase at any time with:

ssh-keygen -p

You will be asked for the FIlename of your key and your old Passphrase.

Then you can enter a new Passphrase.

I donīt think so but mabye you have to reload your SSH Daemon. (/etc/init.d/sshd reload)

Hope this helps,
