Better recreate the secret ssh key and all other secret keys on your server as well. But, again, the OpenSSH protocol/software per se are not affected.


This is incorrect. The heartbleed exploit would have only returned portions of memory that were under the control of OpenSSL, not general memory used by other processes on the system.
