Goldstein Lyor updated SSHD-753: -------------------------------- Priority: Minor (was: Major) > SSHD cannot read its keyfile through a symlink > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: SSHD-753 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-753 > Project: MINA SSHD > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.5.0 > Reporter: Anthony Wood > Assignee: Goldstein Lyor > Priority: Minor > > In {{AbstractGeneratorHostKeyProvider.loadFromFile()}} the configured > {{keyPath}} is checked using {{LinkOption.NOFOLLOW_LINKS}}. If the path is a > symlink, the key will be ignored. Perversely, this class then generates and > writes out a new key (if overwriteAllowed) writing through the symlink and > clobbering the original; on every startup it will ignore its own previous key > and do it again. > Note this is *not* about following or listing symlinks for, e.g., SFTP > clients (SSHD-733). > Since the key path is purely server-side configuration, SSHD should not > interfere with deployment details such as whether its private key is behind a > symlink. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
