Description of problem:
Due to the issue with Debian and Debian derived systems generating weak keys.  It would be useful to have the ssh-vulnkey application added from Debian.  It might also be useful to consider the blacklist code that they have to.

IMO this should be a completely separate package. I don't see any reason why to
add this kludge into the base openssh source rpm.
I'm willing to review it for you if you submit it for Fedora.


Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2008-05-19 20:27:12 UTC
Yes, please feel free to submit this for review.

Comment 3 John Villalovos 2008-08-19 16:09:31 UTC
At the moment I don't have the bandwidth to do this.  It would be nice if someone else could.

Comment 4 Jason Tibbitts 2008-10-21 00:05:06 UTC
If there's no package to review, this should certainly not be in the "Package Review" component.

I'm just going to close this.  If someone actually wants to submit a package for review, please open a regular package review ticket.  If someone wants to keep this open, please change the component to something proper so that it doesn't appear in the package review queue.
