I have also created a more modern ecdsa host key for SSH on EISNER. The
old RSA host key is still there, but recent releases of Linux will
report that the host key has changed, and you can accept the new key or
continue to override that to use ssh-rsa, as shown on the web page:
https://eisner.decus.org/online/ssh
With the new ecdsa key, you are no longer required to specify
"-oHostKeyAlgorithm=+ssh-rsa" on Linux, etc.
To show you what to expect, here's what I saw when I connected from a
Linux box for the first time and did not specify the rsa key:
hunter at zaius:~$ ssh -p xxxxx goatley at eisner.decus.org
The authenticity of host
'[eisner.decus.org]:xxxxx([148.51.202.51]:xxxxx)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
This key is not known by any other names
Are you sure you want to continue connecting
(yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
Warning: Permanently added '[eisner.decus.org]:xxxxx' (ECDSA) to
the list of known hosts.
