Bug ID: 3805
Summary: sshd requires a reload or restart when a new identity
key is generated
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 9.8p1
Hardware: ARM64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: sshd
Assignee: unassigned-b...@mindrot.org
Reporter: sya...@ciena.com
Hi,
I was previously running openSSH 9.6p1 and have upgraded to 9.9p2. I
noticed since upgrading that if I generate a new identity key for my
server (using ssh-keygen) and replace the old key files with the new
keys, the old key continues to be sent to clients until I reload or
restart the sshd service.
When I was running 9.6p1, I didn't have to reload or restart the sshd
service when I changed the server's identity key; New client
connections were getting the server's new key.
I couldn't find a note in the SSH release notes that sshd requires a
reload/restart when the server identity key is changed. Is this
expected? If so, is there a way to tell sshd to always read the key
from the file so a reload/restart of sshd is not required?
