SSH issue

[soandy1]

Dear All expert,

Currently, my ssh version is "ssh: SSH Secure Shell 3.1.0 on hppa1.1-hp-hpux11.00" and my HP-UX version is 11.11.

I planned upgrade to latest version 05.80.001, and I have the following questions:

1. Will the current ssh public keys still usable for current user?

2. Do I need to re-generate ssh public keys after upgrade? 

3. My fall-back plan is un-tar existing sshd2 folder to original directory, will it be workable? 

Since it is a mission critical machines, therefore I am seeking for all your advises.

Thank you in advance.

No.

Not recommended and would not be needed to run with files from older ssh version. Latest version of Secure Shell for HP-UX can be accessed/downloaded from
