e2fsck.conf: While attempting to debug a flaky HDD under Jessie, I had occasion to inspect the conf file /etc/e2fsck.conf, and found that it doesn't exist on any of my computers. But the man e2fsck mentions file e2fsck.conf and man e2fsck.conf states that the default location is /etc/e2fsck.conf . Has support for site specific configuration been abandoned? Or where is it kept?
(open)ssh-known-hosts: While searching in /var to see if I could find e2fsck.conf without asking I found an empty directory, /var/cache/openssh-known-hosts . The Debian wiki has an article about how to use ssh-keyscan to build a small database of known hosts for use on a LAN. The article says the file (not directory) of known hosts should placed in /etc/ssh. Is Debian's plan to move to using /var for a known-hosts DB? or is the empty directory just some cruft? I think a directory is a better way than a file, because it is easier to make atomic changes in directory structure than adding/removing individual lines in a file. Both /var and /etc are OK as a location, for me. Does the software that implements known-host checking at ssh-login-time look in both places? Does it look for both names (hyphens vs. underscores)?
