+ssh
+================================
+
+fingerprints
+--------------------
+
+ssh-keygen -lf <keyfile> tells you the fingerprint of an encryption key
+
+ ls -1 /etc/ssh/*key*
+ /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
+ /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
+ /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
+ /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
+
+fetch the public host ida of a bunch of nodes:
+ ssh-keyscan -t rsa <host list>
+
+ssh certificate authority
+----------------------------------
+
+maybe wait off on this: "The certificate cert format seems to have changed between 5.5 and 6.0"
+
+search for "ssh-keygen -s"

+http://serverfault.com/questions/264515/how-to-revoke-an-ssh-certificate-not-ssh-identity-file
+
+ruby
+---------------
+
+ruby net::ssh
+
+ def generate_key_fingerprint(key)
+ blob = Net::SSH::Buffer.from(:key, key).to_s
+ fingerprint = OpenSSL::Digest::MD5.hexdigest(blob).scan(/../).join(":")
+
+ [blob, fingerprint]
+ rescue ::Exception => e
+ [nil, "(could not generate fingerprint: #{e.message})"]
+ end
+
+ def exchange_keys
+ result = send_kexinit
+ verify_server_key(result[:server_key])
+ session_id = verify_signature(result)
+ confirm_newkeys
+
+ return { :session_id => session_id,
+ :server_key => result[:server_key],
+ :shared_secret => result[:shared_secret],
+ :hashing_algorithm => digester }
+ end
+
+DNS
+======================================
+
+problem: we want to be able to refer to the nodes by hostname (in a variety of programs) without requiring an external dns server.
+
+idea:
+
+ simple lightweight ruby dns server -- https://github.com/ioquatix/rubydns
+ another ruby dns server (eventmachine) -- https://github.com/nricciar/em-dns-server
+
+ modify /etc/resolveconf/resolve.conf.d/tail with
+ nameserver locahost
+ maybe like this:
+ resolveconf -a eth0.leap 'nameserver localhost'
+
+ the problem is that there is probably already a resolving nameserver living at localhost.
+ linux doesn't appear to have a way to let you specify the port number for dns lookups (unlike bsd). boo
+
+ a few other possibilies:
+ * alter /etc/hosts
+ * alter dnsmasq to use additional /etc/hosts files (simple switch for this). dnsmasq is running on my desktop, although there is no /etc/dnsmasq.
+ * write a libnss_ruby or something that would let you use a custom db for /etc/nsswitch.conf
+ see http://uw714doc.sco.com/en/SEC_admin/nssover.html
+
+ssh solution:
+
+ ssh -l root -o "HostName=10.9.8.7" -o "HostKeyAlias=server_a" server_a
