...as far as i informed about the current security notice / patch in OpenSSH (!) it makes no sense to generate new host or client keys. It could make sense to delete the known_hosts as the sec flaw could make it possible in curcumstances that a new client connects to a DNS faked host when not verifying the host key fingerprint during the host verifying process.


cheerioh,
