Chef SSH Known Hosts Cookbook
The Chef ssh_known_hosts cookbook exposes an LWRP and default recipe for adding hosts and keys to the /etc/ssh_known_hosts file.
- The default recipe builds
/etc/ssh/known_hostsbased on search indexes and ohai data. - The LWRP provides a way to add custom entries in your own recipes.
You can also optionally put other host keys in a data bag called "ssh_known_hosts".
See below for details.
Requirements
- An operating system that supports
/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts - (Chef Search is required for the default recipe, but not the LWRP)
Usage
LWRP
Use the LWRP ssh_known_hosts_entry to append an entry for the
specified host in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts. For example:
ssh_known_hosts_entry 'github.com'
This will append an entry in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts like this:
# github.com SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.5p1 Debian-6+squeeze1+github8 github.com ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEAq2A7hRGmdnm9tUDbO9IDSwBK6TbQa+PXYPCPy6rbTrTtw7PHkccKrpp0yVhp5HdEIcKr6pLlVDBfOLX9QUsyCOV0wzfjIJNlGEYsdlLJizHhbn2mUjvSAHQqZETYP81eFzLQNnPHt4EVVUh7VfDESU84KezmD5QlWpXLmvU31/yMf+Se8xhHTvKSCZIFImWwoG6mbUoWf9nzpIoaSjB+weqqUUmpaaasXVal72J+UX2B+2RPW3RcT0eOzQgqlJL3RKrTJvdsjE3JEAvGq3lGHSZXy28G3skua2SmVi/w4yCE6gbODqnTWlg7+wC604ydGXA8VJiS5ap43JXiUFFAaQ==
You can optionally specify your own key, if you don't want to use ssh-keyscan:
ssh_known_hosts_entry 'github.com' do key 'node.example.com ssh-rsa ...' end

Default Recipe
Searches the Chef Server for all hosts that have SSH host keys and generates an /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts.
Adding custom host keys
There are two ways to add custom host keys. You can either use the provided LWRP (see above), or by creating a data bag called "ssh_known_hosts" and adding an item for each host:
{
"id": "github",
"fqdn": "github.com",
"rsa": "github-rsa-host-key"
}
There are additional optional values you may use in the data bag:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Attribute</th>
<th>Description</th>
<th>Example</th>
<th>Default</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>id</td>
<td>a unique id for this data bag entry</td>
<td><tt>github</tt></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>fqdn</td>
<td>the fqdn of the host</td>
<td><tt>github.com</tt></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>rsa</td>
<td>the rsa key for this server</td>
<td><tt>ssh-rsa AAAAB3...</tt></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>ipaddress</td>
<td>the ipaddress of the node (if fqdn is missing)</td>
<td><tt>1.1.1.1</tt></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>hostname</td>
<td>local hostname of the server (if not a fqdn)</td>
<td><tt>myserver.local</tt></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>dsa</td>
<td>the dsa key for this server</td>
<td><tt>ssh-dsa ABAAC3...</tt></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
