Bug ID: 2285
Summary: Say NOT updated instead of updated
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 6.6p1
Hardware: Other
URL: http://bugs.debian.org/764269
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: P5
Component: ssh-keygen
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
Reporter: jidanni at jidanni.org
We observe that aside from the first run below,
the message "/home/jidanni/.ssh/known_hosts updated." is incorrect.
Using diff(1) we show that the contents remain the same.
Therefore in the latter cases, saying
"/home/jidanni/.ssh/known_hosts NOT updated."
would be better. Nor is there any reason to write a backup.
$ ssh-keygen -f "/home/jidanni/.ssh/known_hosts" -R m.jidanni.org
# Host m.jidanni.org found: line 2 type RSA
/home/jidanni/.ssh/known_hosts updated.
Original contents retained as /home/jidanni/.ssh/known_hosts.old
$ ssh-keygen -f "/home/jidanni/.ssh/known_hosts" -R m.jidanni.org
/home/jidanni/.ssh/known_hosts updated.
Original contents retained as /home/jidanni/.ssh/known_hosts.old
$ ssh-keygen -f "/home/jidanni/.ssh/known_hosts" -R m.jidanni.org
/home/jidanni/.ssh/known_hosts updated.
Original contents retained as /home/jidanni/.ssh/known_hosts.old
$ diff /home/jidanni/.ssh/known_hosts.old
/home/jidanni/.ssh/known_hosts
$
Yes you might think it odd that a user would repeat the command by
accident perhaps, but even more odd are the incorrect messages.
