Fail to SSH Cisco PIX 6.3 device - secondary standby unit

Hi Expert,

Have you encountered the following strange situation? PIX-1 and PIX-2 are
running in failover mode while PIX-1 is primary-active while PIX-2 is
secondary standby. I am able to SSH (ver 1) PIX-1 remotely from management
station while I cannot access PIX-2 via *SSH*.
However, when I perform console access. Both devices are working fine. And,
ping traffic is ok towards two firewalls from management station.

I remembered that there is some trick to manage (or regenerate) the SSH key
of secondary-standby PIX 6.x if you perform reboot or do something in that
firewall pairs. However, I cannot recall the exact way to mitigate that. Is
there any suggestion?
