Hmm, are we sure anyone still cares about this. Sadly Matthieu isn't around anymore and we had no one else from UC20 speak up at all since then. If someone really still depends on this please speak up here!
IMHO "whishlist" + "server-next" are almost kind of mutually exclusive. Further I can think of many dependent tools relying on the place of the generated keys like: -rw------- 1 root root 1369 May 11 14:51 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 596 May 11 14:51 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub -rw------- 1 root root 492 May 11 14:51 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 168 May 11 14:51 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub -rw------- 1 root root 399 May 11 14:51 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 88 May 11 14:51 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub -rw------- 1 root root 2590 May 11 14:51 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 560 May 11 14:51 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub So we can't just move them around and furthermore you'd not want to fragment that throughout the Debian derived eco system. And in fact these are not Debian/Ubuntu decisions - the location for the generated keys is throughout all of upstreams man pages, examples and config files. If to be changed that is the place to discuss/change it. I'll drop the server-next tag and subscribe Colin in case he has an opinion on this as well. ** Tags removed: server-next -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849560 Title: Please revise the files installed in /etc/ Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: openssh-server and openssh-client install various files under /etc: /etc/ssh/* /etc/systemd/system/sshd.service Please see if these files can be moved elsewhere, in accordance with FHS: /etc should only contain files writable by the system administrator, and in Ubuntu Core 20 we should aim to have no writable files in /etc (as it will be included in images, avoid conflict resolution on upgrades). At a glance, it looks like /etc/systemd/system/sshd.service could be moved to /lib/systemd/system, and many of the files in /etc/ssh do have suitable locations elsewhere on the system, such as /var/lib/ for generated keys, /usr/share/ for default SSH configurations, etc.) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1849560/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
