Summary: ssh/scp to localhost/127.0.0.1 should not update
known_hosts
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 5.3p1
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Miscellaneous
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
If ssh/scp is used on computers with a shared home directory the
localhost key noted in ~/.ssh/known_hosts is ambiguous.
If the user fist ssh to localhost on host A and afterwards do the same
on host B he is getting an error message.
On the other side the host key for localhost is only a valuable
security enhancement if localhost isn't bound to an uncommon ip number.
(But this should cause a lot of troubles that hits a user before.)
