Hello,

I have a system without a USB key. I am contemplating changing the sshd
init script slightly to copy ssh keys when they are generated to
/stat/etc/ssh.

It currently looks like this:


if [ ! -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key ]
then
cp -a /stat/etc/ssh/* /etc/ssh/
echo "generating ssh hostkeys..."
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N ''
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -d -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N ''
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -N ''
fi


I am thinking about changing it to:

if [ ! -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key ]
then
cp -a /stat/etc/ssh/* /etc/ssh/
echo "generating ssh hostkeys..."
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N ''
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -d -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N ''
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -N ''
cp -a /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub /stat/etc/ssh/
cp -a /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key /stat/etc/ssh/
cp -a /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub /stat/etc/ssh/
cp -a /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key /stat/etc/ssh/
cp -a /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub /stat/etc/ssh/
cp -a /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key /stat/etc/ssh/
fi

So if they keys are generated they are copied to /stat/etc/ssh so
keep after a reboot. Any potential problems this might cause?

Thanks

-Ken
