But what I missed previously was that I only need the one key per machine! So having created a more modern ed25519 key, all I need to do is copy it to the other account and then tell both accounts on the other two machines ...

ssh-copy-id root@srv10
ssh-copy-id lester@srv10
ssh-copy-id root@desktop
ssh-copy-id lester@desktop

Thuis just left the problemI'd originally started with which was the old leap distro whould not connect via sftp. The same problem happened here but the fix actually worked by adding Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server to the sshd_config file created above. I think it also needs a manual connection via the command line just to complete the final key copy with 'sftp root@desktop' and then 'sftp lester@desktop' just worked as well.

I do think I need to verify just what key is now being used where but at least all paths do seem to be working and I can get back to sorting the media server files once I sort a copy of the metadata from the old server's disk.
