explanatory gap

If it’s a big pain when a workstation’s ssh keypair gets lost, back it up.

#!/bin/sh

HOSTNAME=`hostname`
sudo cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key > ws_keys/ssh_host_dsa_key.${HOSTNAME}
sudo cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub > ws_keys/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub.${HOSTNAME}
sudo cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key >    ws_keys/ssh_host_rsa_key.${HOSTNAME}
sudo cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub > ws_keys/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub.${HOSTNAME}

chmod go-r ws_keys/*.${HOSTNAME}
