Bug#509058: openssh-client: ssh-keygen does not read from stdin
Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:5.1p1-4
Severity: normal
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Reading from stdin is either broken or not properly supported in
ssh-keygen. It appears that ssh-keygen will read from a file
redirection, but not from a pipeline:
servo:/tmp/cdtemp.laHoFb 0$ ssh-keygen -l -f id_rsa.pub
1024 23:ff:58:10:19:b6:5d:4f:c9:92:28:00:57:2c:5a:c8 id_rsa.pub (RSA)
servo:/tmp/cdtemp.laHoFb 0$ ssh-keygen -l -f /dev/stdin <id_rsa.pub
1024 23:ff:58:10:19:b6:5d:4f:c9:92:28:00:57:2c:5a:c8 /dev/stdin (RSA)
servo:/tmp/cdtemp.laHoFb 0$ cat id_rsa.pub | ssh-keygen -l -f /dev/stdin
/dev/stdin is not a public key file.
servo:/tmp/cdtemp.laHoFb 1$
This bug has been reported upstream (bug 1477), but I thought it would
be prudent to report it here as well, as this is a feature I would
really like to see working.
