    I'm would like to auto-generate keys for a lot of different UNIX-hosts
    (HPUX, Solaris, Digital UNIX and Linux) and then distribute them to
    the hosts during auto-installation (in a secure way).

    The distribution part is no problem, but how do I generate a key for
    one host on another? Is the hostname in the key-file the only
    difference and can I just replace this before I distribute it to a
    host or is the hostname contained in the key itself.

    It does not seem like ssh-keygen supports an option for giving a
    hostname, which would be usefull in my scenario.

    Any help would be appriciated.

    (I'm using OpenSSH -- latest version)
