Re: [Astlinux-users] Using VMware Templates

[Lonnie A. <li...@lo...>]

Hi Michael,

You are missing an important set of keys:
--
Server SSH Keys – 'rm /mnt/kd/ssh/ssh_host_*' are removed so host server keys are regenerated
--

BTW, the ssh/ssh_host_* are for the sshd server, the ssh_root_keys/ are for outbound 'root' user ssh keys.

As you mentioned (implied), everything in /mnt/kd/ssl/* should be removed (including dirs).

As for the Zabbix keys, AstLinux does not generate those ... possibly Zabbix does with the proper configuration path to /mnt/kd/ssl/...

Off hand, I can't think of any other secure identity bits and shouldn't be propagated from VM to VM.
