Description

On many of my nodes using a single, simple directive that uses the standard sshKeyDistribution technique :
- Setting SSH authoriszed keys for 2 users : myself and root
- With the option “Remove other keys“ = Yes

Nothing else AFAIK changing any thing with the authorized_keys on those machines.

- Most of the times the Rudder agent runs good with everything compliant.
- But every so often, the Rudder agents reports that :
-- The SSH key for each user was “repaired”
-- The SSH keys for each user “could not be flushed”

I have no explanation for such behaviour.

See attached screenshots.
