    Honestly, I'm mostly lazy and use the new keys on boxen... that being
said, IIRC this is pretty straightforward, just need to move the host key
files from one to the other. I don't recall their locations on DeadRat,
but a quick look at your sshd_config file may give what you seek. Also
note that if you upgraded your ssh install from source at a later time
(rather than a DeadRat RPM) they may be in /usr/local/etc...
