the only time the host keys should change is if you a) delete them (either by wiping the whole machine or just deleting the files), or b) explicitly regenerate them. If they're changing for any other reason you're doing something weird.


I don't think anybody actually generates host keys by hand. It's always some sort of "automation" script in your OS or SSH implementation.


Or they're getting MITM'd repeatedly by multiple different attackers...


Probably not. MITM pretty much never happens in the real world.
