Hello all,

I am trying to put together a small learning environment using rpi3 and mate. I have one built and setup perfectly. If I save the SD image and then transfer to two other SD cards what do I need to do to ensure that the devices are seen as new / different devices. Sorry Linux newbie!!

One thing you’ll want to do on the other machines is reset the SSH host keys:

sudo rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*
sudo dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server

Then, rename the other machines by editing /etc/hostname, and then change the hostname accordingly in /etc/hosts as well.
