Description

In most linux operating systems the openssh daemon will honer another file called authorized_keys2 this is not currently visible to rudder meaning it might serve as a way to bypass rudder policy enforcement of the authorized keys.

grep -r "autho" /etc/ssh/sshd_config
  1. Expect .ssh/authorized_keys2 to be disregarded by default in future.
    #AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys .ssh/authorized_keys2

Would it be possible to allow for the setting AuthorizedKeysFile to be adjusted from rudder or for rudder to manage the authorized_keys2 file?

Thanks!
