Yes. But since you’re retailoring your system you should consider the security 
implications of that.

If you want to keep per host keys without any additional infrastructure a 
mechanism should be implemented to keep the keys sane.

Ir you don’t care for security, which is fine depending the case, remote shell 
in fact does what you want but be aware of the consequences. It’s an old script 
and can become a problem: for instance the ed25519 host keys are always 
regerated due to the fact that remoteshell ignores ed25519 keys.

There’s a lot of ideias from Jarrod to reimplement something better. My path is 
to disable remoteshell completely and use SSSD to handle the host keys.

Whatever you choose might work but keep in mind the issues.

Is there’s something else uncovered?
