Is is > different or better? distkeys is just for distributing SSH keys, the other functions are just there for convenience or cause they were easy to implement. I only know puppet rudimentarily and do not know ansible. Possible differences are: - easy to understand and use (no need to understand puppet concepts like manifests just for SSH key distribution) - no requirements on systems to which distkeys distributes keys (no need to install any client, running SSH server and access to the user to which to distribute keys to is enough) - can access machines behind firewalls by port forwarding - creates backups of old authorized_keys file once a day distkeys does not replace a full blown configuration management, as the name says its main usage is just maintaining SSH keys on a list of machines.
