migrating sshd keys to new machine

I have an aging SSH server that I'd like to replace with a new machine; how do I transfer the SSHD keys from the old to the new? Can I just copy over the /etc/ssh directory?

You just need the key files although you probably do want all the config files too.. in any case...

Copy them to the new server and restart sshd. done!
