SSHbase generates a ssh_known_hosts file with hosts, ip's & aliases in inconsistent order

Reported by: https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id?id=AItOawlo86Mt9tqt2k06humTEpjOdekfWJoTv4M Owned by: desai

Component: bcfg2-client Version: 1.0
Keywords: SSHbase ssh_known_hosts Cc: [email protected]

Description

RHEL5.4, bcfg2 1.0.1

An excerpt from running bcfg2 -qveI (with ip & hostnames changed)

+10.0.0.1,host1,host1.domain ssh-rsa AAAA....ASD==
+host2,10.0.0.2, host2.domain ssh-rsa AAAA....DSA==

Install ConfigFiles /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts: (y/N):

Because the order of a python set is dependent on the order of the hash of entries of that set, the get_skn method generates a entries in the ssh_known_hosts with the names ordered according to their has instead of a consistent (from the user point of view) order. Some entries are IP, hostname and other entries are hostname, IP.

This patch corrects that:

Bcfg2/Server/Plugins/SSHbase.py

90a91
>                names[cmeta.hostname] = sorted(names[cmeta.hostname])

The overhead of sorting the names set is only incurred upon bcfg2-server startup since the skn file is cached in memory and shouldn't be significant.
