[donotprint][/donotprint]To regenerate keys you need to delete old files and reconfigure openssh-server. It is also safe to run following commands over remote ssh based session

Why regenerate new ssh server keys?

Generate a random key in nodejs. Most Linux and Unix distribution create ssh keys for you during the installation of the OpenSSH server package. But it may be useful to be able re-generate new server keys from time to time. For example, when you duplicate VM (KVM or container) which contains an installed ssh package and you need to use different keys from cloned KVM VM guest/machine.

Steps to regenerate OpenSSH host keys on Linux

Let us see all steps

Step 1 – Delete old ssh host keys

Login as the root and type the following command to delete files on your SSHD server:
# /bin/rm -v /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*
Sample outputs:

Step 2 – Debian or Ubuntu Linux Regenerate OpenSSH Host Keys

Now create a new set of keys on your SSHD server, enter:
# dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server
Sample output:

You just regenerated new ssh server keys. You need to restart ssh server:
$ sudo systemctl restart ssh
OR
$ /etc/init.d/ssh restart

Step 3 – Update all ssh client(s) known_hosts files

Finally, you need to update ~/.ssh/known_hosts files on client computers, otherwise everyone will see an error message that read as follows:

Either remove host fingerprint or update the file using vi text editor (command must be typed on client machine):
$ ssh-keygen -R remote-server-name-here
Now login using the ssh command:
$ ssh vivek@server1.cyberciti.biz

Conclusion

You just regenerated OpenSSH Host Keys on a Debian or Ubuntu Linux using the dpkg-reconfigure command. For more info see the man page or this wiki page here:
$ man dpkg-reconfigure
$ man sshd
