Moving the SSH key from one machine to another

[Jeremy Begg <jeremy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We are moving from;
MultiNet V5.1 Rev A-X, COMPAQ AlphaServer DS20E 666 MHz, OpenVMS AXP V8.3

to:
MultiNet V5.2 Rev A-X, HP rx2660  (1.59GHz/9.0MB), OpenVMS I64 V8.3-1H1

The Integrity server will get the hostname and IP address presently in use
by the AlphaServer.

We'd like to make the transition for users as seemless as possible.  A
number of users rely on SSH a fair bit.  Can we copy the SSH key files
HOSTKEY. and HOSTKEY.PUB from one server to the other, so that users don't
get an error from their SSH clients when they first log in to the Integrity
server?  (The error we would expect them to see is something like "remote
host key has changed, do you want to continue?")

Thanks,

        Jeremy Begg
