             Bug #: 1972
           Summary: ssh-keygen fails to generate SSHFP for ECDSA but exits
                    with 0 code
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.9p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh-keygen
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: aleksey.morarash at gmail.com


Compiled from sources openssh-5.9p1.

Steps to reproduce:

> $ ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -N "" -f test -q
> $ echo $?
> 0
> $ ls test*
> test test.pub
> $ ssh-keygen -r hostname -f test.pub
> ssh-keygen: export_dns_rr: unsupported algorithm
> $ echo $?
> 0

I understand that there is no RFC for ECDSA SSHFP records yet and ECDSA
support in openssh is not full, but I expected non-zero exit code in
such case.
