Greetings, The update-cluster package provides an efficient way to manage multiple configuration files from a single master list of machines. It is used, for example, by mpich, jmon, dsh and update-cluster-hosts to generate and maintain config files involving lists of machines.
I'm wondering whether this approach can be used efficiently to configure rsh and ssh host lists, such as /etc/hosts.equiv and, with a bit more difficulty, /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts2 (this would involve polling all of the relevant machines for their public keys, or harvesting them from some user's ~/.ssh/known_hosts2 file). hosts.equiv is easy to do, but hard to assign in terms of ownership: does rsh-server own it, or is it more generic to all rsh server implementations? After two idle years in the BTS, I'd like to move forward on this, and would be happy to generate patches as appropriate. So, any thoughts on where this should go: update-cluster-hosts, rsh-server, etc? And Matthew or Colin, would you accept into ssh an update-cluster script to auto-generate /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts2?
