Hello,
In the past several weeks I have applied the openssh/openssl updates to
my systems - the updates the fix the random-number-generator weakness.
This has turned into an unexpected nightmare: my users have, between them
all, dozens of cached host keys, and they are nearly unable to work
because every time they turn around they're getting bad-old-cached-key
warnings (REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED).
I've been trying to go through all the known_hosts files manually and
update them to give my users a break, but it's a tedious nightmare.
Adding to the complexity is that many of the known_hosts files are
armored (the hostname/ip address is not in plain text).
Has anyone come up with a way to read all the cached hosts - all the
~/.ssh/known_hosts entries on a system (or at least per user) and fix
them?
Essentially I need some semi-automated way to fix this since I have many
users's connections to fix still (hundreds if not thousands by the time I
do machines X users X outgoing connections).
Thanks,
JW
