Puppet » Facter

Here’s the fact we use to find the verison. It assumes you’re running the most recent version (of the versions installed), which we always are:

Facter.add("tww_ssh_version") do
    setcode do
        unless Dir.glob('/opt/TWWfsw/openssh*').empty?
            Dir.new('/opt/TWWfsw').find{|d| /openssh/.match(d)}.sort.last.delete('openssh')
        end
    end
end

Can you tell me the following:

Is sshd in root’s path? Does the following

sshd -T 2>/dev/null | grep hostkey | cut -d\ -f2

give the correct locations?

sshd isn’t in root’s PATH. Of course, it could be in root’s PATH but we tend to set it in our normal user .bashrc or in an alias for ‘su’.

Regardless of the path can you let me know if the sshd command line above gives you the correct locations for hostkeys:

sshd -T 2>/dev/null | grep hostkey | cut -d\ -f2

It looks like ‘-T’ is only available in 5.x which we don’t have everywhere yet (and it will be a while before we do).

We can add another resolution that tries to use sshd -T and then fall back to hardcoded paths.
