[tlug] Dealing with a second SSH key



A few years ago I succeeded in successfully creating my first ssh keypair, and haven't had to touch it since. But I now want to rsync to a second server (at a completely different domain), and I'm confused about how I'm supposed to handle the two together. If I do

  ssh-keygen -t dsa

I am threatened with overwriting my original keypair. But it also seems that I can't simply copy the keypair on my first remote server over to my second remote server (or perhaps I can, and I am doing something wrong with permissions?). I am an absolute beginner at this.

I can find plenty of ssh keygen howtos and so forth, but I can't seem to find anything that explicitly tells how to deal with a key for a second remote server.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Chuck
