Summary: ~/.ssh/known_hosts.d/*
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 5.1p1
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: ssh
AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
ReportedBy: josh at freedesktop.org
I'd really like the ability to have multiple known_hosts files. This
would greatly simplify the ability to share these files between systems
using various secure methods, such as keeping them in my home
directory's git repository.
Ideally, I'd suggest reading all files in ~/.ssh/known_hosts.d/* by
default, in addition to ~/.ssh/known_hosts. Alternatively, various
approaches for allowing configuration of multiple known_hosts files
might work; however, I don't know that it makes sense to support
arbitrary files.
I'd suggest continuing to write entries to ~/.ssh/known_hosts, at least
by default. Users could populate ~/.ssh/known_hosts.d/* manually.
Eventually it might make sense to write out individual files to
~/.ssh/known_hosts.d/ , but that doesn't seem necessary initially.
Thank you from a happy OpenSSH user.
