Hi I am having issues withupdating ssh from 6.6 to 6.9. When i update it, it works; however, I cannot successfully SSH back into the server. I get a publickey error. I am following the directions here: https://kenkoehlerca.wordpress.com/2015/01/07/upgrading-to-openssh-6-7p1-on-ubuntu/comment-page-1/#comment-4 Please help--this is the only thing keeping me back. I am on Ubuntu 14.04 on AWS. Thanks! NIck

Hi again, I ran the commands exactly. I see that some keys are not overwritten and skipped---but some are still created. I just tried again...and still get an error. Thoughts to prevent it from overwriting my keys?
