Applies at least to ''openssh''.
|
|
|
|
To get the hostkeys for a server, and write them to ''known_hosts''-file (to avoid that yes/no query when the key isn't known), you can do:
|
|
|
|
<code>
|
|
ssh-keyscan -t rsa foo foo.example.com 1.2.3.4 >> ~/.ssh/known_host
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
This example queries the hostkeys for the very same machine, but under 3 different "names" (hostname, FQDN, IP) and redirects the output to the ''known_hosts''-file.
|
|
|
|
__**Notes:**__
|
|
* if done blindly, the ''known_host''-file may grow very large. It might be wise to check for key existance first
|
|
* if multiple keys for the same host exist in ''known_hosts'', the first one is taken (which might be an old or wrong one)
