RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Michael 2016-05-02 11:00:57 UTC 
Description of problem:

Can not execute “ipsec showhostkey –rsaid”

I can list RSA keys in my NSS database using this command:


    ipsec showhostkey --list
    ipsec showhostkey nss directory showhostkey: /etc/ipsec.d
    1(1): RSA keyid: AQPAhum5U with id: (none)
    1(2): RSA keyid: AQPAhum5U with id: (none)

But when I try to execute `ipsec showhostkey –rsaid` it fail with `You must specify some operation`:

    ipsec showhostkey --rsaid  AQPAhum5U
    You must specify some operation
    Usage: ipsec showhostkey [--ipseckey {gateway}] [--left ] [--right ]
                             [--dump ] [--list ] [--x509self]
                             [--x509req ] [--x509cert ]
                             [ --txt gateway ] [--dhclient ]
                             [ --file secretfile ]
                             [ --keynum count ] [ --id identity ]
                             [ --rsaid keyid ] [--verbose] [--version]

What is interesting that without the argument it fails with correct error `option '--rsaid' requires an argument`

    ipsec showhostkey --rsaid
    /usr/libexec/ipsec/showhostkey: option '--rsaid' requires an argument
    Usage: ipsec showhostkey [--ipseckey {gateway}] [--left ] [--right ]
                             [--dump ] [--list ] [--x509self]
                             [--x509req ] [--x509cert ]
                             [ --txt gateway ] [--dhclient ]
                             [ --file secretfile ]
                             [ --keynum count ] [ --id identity ]
                             [ --rsaid keyid ] [--verbose] [--version]

Comment 2 Paul Wouters 2016-05-02 15:16:38 UTC 
It expects a --left or --right or --ipsec operation:

root@bofh7:/home/paul# ipsec showhostkey --rsaid AQOrVMP+z
You must specify some operation
Usage: ipsec showhostkey [--ipseckey] | [--left ] | [--right ]
                         [--precedence <precedence> ] [--gateway <gateway>]
                         [--dump ] [--list ]
                         [--dhclient ] [--file secretfile ]
                         [--keynum count ] [--id identity ]
                         [--rsaid keyid ] [--verbose] [--version]
root@bofh7:/home/paul# ipsec showhostkey --rsaid AQOrVMP+z --left

I guess the usage should not have [ ] around the first line. Fixing upstream
