SSH Host Key Signature [RO]
This key signature, or fingerprint, helps to identify the NP when
connecting through SSH. SSH clients typically show the host key
signature when they connect to a system for the first time. The user
can then compare the host key the SSH client shows with the host
key the NP displays to verify that they are the same
Generate New Host Key G
Generates a new host key that uniquely identifies the NP.
NOTE: After doing this, SSH clients that have connected to the NP
before will usually note or warn that the host key has changed when
they connect again.
