updating SSH key

updating SSH key

[Lee Millward]

Hi,

Will it be possible to update my SSH key associated with yourselves
please? I've recently moved to a new system so I'm lost my old key and
would like to install a new one.

Many thanks,
Lee.

Not a direct answer, I know, but moving to a new system doesn't mean
you have to get yourself a new key.  These are usually stored in your
home directory, under $HOME/.ssh and you can easily move them to new
systems (or backup/restore them).

`man ssh` has further details, close to the end of the man page.

If you still have some access to the old system, that might be the 
easiest way to regain access.

Unfortunately I don't have access to my old system anymore which is
why I was asking about installing a new key. I had planned to create a
copy of my SSH keys before the switch but i forgot :(

Cheers,
Lee.

Hi,

Just a quick follow-up to my original to see what I need to do
regarding updating my SSH key for SVN access?

Cheers,
Lee.

Updating SSH Key

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 472 bytes --]

Hi,

I would like to update my SSH key on sourceware.org (glibc repository),
and I see instructions for that on [1], but it doesn't specify whether
the old key remains valid for access.  I would like to replace the key.
I do still have the old key.

I also know of the "alive" command, but is there a command to list the
commands? (Or somewhere they are documented on the website?)

Thank you,
Rical

You can use the "replacekey" command.
    ssh USER@sourceware.org replacekey < NEWKEY

I don't know if the commands are listed anywhere.

Thank you.  Updated just now.

Alright.  I tried "listcommands", "list", and "commands", since most of
them seem naturally named (e.g., "How do I replace my key?" ->
replacekey), and only got the hanging login, but it seemed worth a shot.

Well that's everything I've needed to be able to do so far, anyway.

I certainly never found it if it is...

Ahhh.  My scripts never wait that long (5s=WTH; 10s=CTL-C).  ;)
