Hello, I have several fedora machines which I upgrade/reinstall, from time to time. I do this by reinstalling Fedora (I know that there is an upgrade option for Fedora but I prefer to reinstall). When doing so, the /root/.ssh folder is of course deleted. Now, on some of these machine, I have a public key which is installed on several servers to enable me ssh access to these machines without typing the password. The public key is generated thus: ssh-keygen -t rsa And it generates 2 files: id_rsa and id_rsa.pub And I paste the contents of id_rsa.pub to the server /root./ssh/authorized_keys (or /root./ssh/authorized_keys2). Any idea if there is a way to keep the id_rsa.pub when reinstalling Fedora ? (If I try ssh-keygen -t rsa after reinstall, I am unable to ssh to these servers.)
