--- Comment #3 from Egbert S. <s.egbert at sbcglobal.net> ---
Agreed. It would have worked if the quoted is narrowed down to like
any of the following:
ssh-keygen -f ~/../../"My Users"/johndoe/.ssh/known_hosts
ssh-keygen -f ~/../johndoe/.ssh/"known hosts"
ssh-keygen -f ~/../"Johnny Be Right"/.ssh/known_hosts
And certainly not the following:
ssh-keygen -f "~"/.ssh/known_hosts
Got it. I think I'd be asking for an enhancement to the error message,
something like including the filename in question that mktemp failed
at.
If this is not a worthy goal, then let's close this bug.
