Debian is generating ssh keys on every boot, not just on initial. (Oopsie.) {grin}

Would also strongly suggest version numbers on distribution images so we know exactly what we've got and what's been added since we last ran the distro wizard.

Ahh crud.

Code: rm -f /etc/rcS.d/S59sshkeysfirstboot

Will get rid of that condition.

I'll spin through the rest of the hosts and update the default images to fix this.

Thanks.

Ok -- SSH keys on reboot is fixed on all the host's default debian image...

Any thoughts on including a small linode distribution version file with each distro?

Yes, I think it's an excellent idea!
