This is Ubuntu/Debian centric so it may not work for others: sudo rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host_{dsa,rsa}_key* sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow openssh-server Or the old fashion way: ssh-keygen -b 4096 -t rsa -f ssh_host_rsa_key
sudo rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host_{dsa,rsa}_key* sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow openssh-server
ssh-keygen -b 4096 -t rsa -f ssh_host_rsa_key
