No, I did not know that you can copy keys between machines. I guess
that means that I could also then use the same key from different
machines simultaniously. I don't know what gave me the obviously false
impression that there was some system-specific information within the
key that was used during validation, something similar to the
fingerprint of the host key.
Thank you for clairifing! Yet I still prefer using the new key.
Cheers,
