            Bug ID: 3600
           Summary: please make ssh-keygen symlink aware for proper
                    handling of hosts removal in symlinked known_hosts
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 9.3p2
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh-keygen
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: devzero at web.de

apparently, if a known_hosts file is being symlinked, when using 

ssh-keygen -f <your_known_hosts> -R hostname

the reference to the symlinked file is being lost, as ssh-keygen is
renaming the file and recreating it new

not sure how to handle this issue correctly in proxmox otherwise,
without makeing ssh-keygen symlink aware
