I don't think there is enough information to create an ssh known_hosts entry from the fingerprint. I've written a blog post at http://ubuntu-smoser.blogspot.com/2010/07/verify-ssh-keys-on-ec2-instances.html demonstrating how to check the host before connecting. I think the original intent of this feature (before my time) was to serve humans verifying the remote host, thus the fingerprint makes sense. However, it seems that it would make sense to support outputting something more machine consumable, which the 'ssh -e' would be better for. I'm open to adding a cloud-config option for this. Care to open a bug? Unfortunately, I don't think we can reasonably ditch the old default behavior as many tools have been written to scrape console output looking for this formated string. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/892554 Title: SSH keys summary does not report ECDSA key To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/892554/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
