Bug ID: 2983
Summary: Add --fix-up-the-mess to fix up Offending key warnings
for the user in one quick step!
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 7.9p1
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: ssh
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
We are all familiar with the old routine,
$ ssh ...
Warning: the ECDSA host key for 'ssh.example.org' differs from the key
for the IP address '164.190.144.253'
Offending key for IP in /home/jidanni/.ssh/known_hosts:20
Matching host key in /home/jidanni/.ssh/known_hosts:30
$ ed /home/jidanni/.ssh/known_hosts
11098
20d
w
10656
q
$ ssh ...
Warning: Permanently added the ECDSA host key for IP address
'64.90.44.253' to the list of known hosts.
Well I have a new idea!
At the end of the initial warning just add
"... or if you are really sure, just use --fix-up-the-mess to fix up
the mess"
and then all the user would need to do is one
$ ssh --fix-up-the-mess ...
and voila, the mess is all fixed up! Even no one-time "Permanently
added..." message!
(Of course please choose a better name than --fix-up-the-mess.) Thanks!
