It only regenerates standard keys that the system knows about. Many people running servers have to generate keys/certificates for all sorts of other reasons and those keys are not automatically regenerated.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I'm running Ubuntu Server 8.04 and I did an update as soon as I heard about the fix. It <b>automatically</b> regenerated new keys for me. I just had to remove my server from my known_hosts file in order to login.<br><br>
Sure, it's a big issue - but did anyone actually exploit it? To be patched up before anyone has actually exploited it is pretty good. Microsoft vuln. are discovered and known for ages before repaired.<br><br>But, I have to admit, (play devils advocate), it would certainly shake my confidence as an outsider...<br>

Karl, while it is good to highlight security issues and possible rub it in people's faces a little, can we all try and do it with the typing of rude words.<br>
