In ~/.ssh/config, i have:

HashKnownHosts No

But when monkeysphere-ssh-proxycommand adds new hosts to ~/.ssh/known_hosts, they appear to be added in a hashed form, instead of in the clear.

fwiw: i'm using OpenSSH 5.1p1 on a debian lenny system (backported from sid)


I can confirm this too (I'm running openssh-client 1:4.7p1-12)

There is absolutely no attempt by any monkeysphere utility to parse any ssh or sshd config file. This will probably need to be delt with down the line, but it's not a particular easy task at the moment.

I've posted to the openssh-unix-dev list to see if there is a possibility of openssh making our lives easier here, but i haven't had much of a response yet.

For some reason this didn't get mentioned in this bug earlier, but there is a monkeysphere config variable about hashing known_hosts lines, which is set to true by default (to be in sync with the Debian openssh-client package).

I think this bug is really more about the fact that monkeysphere does not parse the ssh config files for any directives relavent to what the monkeysphere is doing. I'm changing the name of this bug to reflect what the real issue is.
