Could you explain a little more why the user's public ssh key should be made
publicly accessible?

I do not think we do it in FAS and I am not sure to understand the idea.

Thanks

You should be able to reply to this email now @till :)

Sorry, I meant pagure's ssh host key.

Where do you think it should be published?
Something like /api/0/ssh_host_key or on the wiki or ? What do you advice?

Here is an idea: Add a caption to the connection strings at the bottom and then add a link to a page with the keys fingerprints and public hostkeys and maybe some explanatory text. Here is what github does: https://help.github.com/articles/what-are-github-s-ssh-key-fingerprints/

But the whole host key would be nicer because it can be just cppied to the known hosts file without having to compare the fingerprints. Also I would not publish the DSA key, since nobody should use it, but also the ed25519 key.

Looking into the pagure host I see:

• rsa_key.pub
• ecdsa_key.pub
• ed25519_key.pub

Are all three needed?

Do they all have a fingerprint ? (If so, do you know how I can find it?)
