Is it a bug or am i doing something wrong ?
It's a bug. There are two possible solutions.
The rougher, easier fix would be to modify libssh2 so that it can
process an arbitrary number of comma-separated aliases and creates a
new entry for each one.
The much nicer fix would be to modify the knownhost handling so that
it explicitly supports alias lists and doesn't split them into
separate entries. This means libssh2 could read in and write out any
known_hosts file and there should be no difference between the before
and after.
Unfortunately, I'm snowed under with work and don't have time to look
at this. Patches welcome :)
I'm already working on a patch :) , but if I try to follow the
description i found here :
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8
Wild cards, revoked keys ... I think it will take years before seeing it. :)
From what I see, it would require a complete overhaul of the
libssh2_knownhost_readline function... And i dislike having to rewrite a
big portion of code just to make a patch.
Anyway, I hope I could provide a patch soon.
