stumpled upon a bug in openssh … did a small config change in sshd_config, deployed it with ansible … and lost connectifity to all these boxes immediately … and of course, i did a config check before reloading the sshd daemon, and the config check was fine.

i can’t belife that nobody else found this before, as it’s really simple to reproduce. and it’s working with openbsd, debian, centos and mostly on all system which have opensshd implemented (and that’s a lot of …)

like ssh and secure keys ?

Generate Secure Key

ssh-keygen -o -a 100 -t ed25519 -C "MyFamousComment"
ssh-keygen -o -a 100 -t ed25519 -C "$(whoami)@$(hostname)"
ssh-keygen -o -a 100 -t ed25519 -C "$(whoami)@$(hostname) at $(date \"+%Y-%m-%d\")"
ssh-keygen -o -a 100 -t ed25519 -C "$(whoami)@$(hostname) at $(date \"+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M\")"

What’s ed25519 ?
