Hi,

as users of SSH probably noticed we enabled VisualHostKey display for ssh remote logins.

This is a "visual help" if you login to a remote host where you have no known hostkey yet.

An internal discussion showed some annoyance, and questioned this features usefulness. (Basically it is not really needed if you have a known_host key entry already, which in 99% of usage probably is there).

So I am currently considering disabling the feature by default again.

Any comments?

I'd like it disabled until it's fixed to only print it when the host key is not already known. As a few people noted internally, it muddles script output. Since ssh will already complain when a host key has changed and will prompt you if the host key is unknown, printing it for every login is just dumb. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkwkv7cACgkQLPWxlyuTD7KUvQCgpZ22l9RNWwS8MmhTXWPMgjhZ q18An2M85NduOUo1Gk7wYuvgHpivbeO8 =7nYb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
