Bug ID: 2165
Summary: ssh option to prompt for fingerprint input
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 5.9p1
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: ssh
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Rather than showing the fingerprint to the user to compare, there could
be and option where ssh wouldn't show the fingerprint, but would prompt
the user to input the fingerprint by keyboard. Then ssh would evaluate
if it is right or wrong. Computers are much better at comparing exact
strings than humans.
Proposal:
~ seff$ ssh -o PromptFingerprint=yes bugzilla.mindrot.org
The authenticity of host 'bugzilla.mindrot.org (130.102.96.3)' can't be
established.
Type the RSA key fingerprint from remote host:
