Ok, I'm thoroughly stumped here. I had something from testing several
months ago that I thought was doing the right thing, but now I don't
think it was.

I want to insert into ~root/.ssh/known_hosts on certain hosts the root
public ssh key from a trusted root host. But the trickier part is to
delete any lines from the known_hosts file that match the beginning and
end of the new key to be added without affecting any other lines. For
example, say I have

$(trustedhostkey) = "ssh-dss blahblahblahblah r...@trustedhost"

and in the local ~root/.ssh/known_hosts file:

ssh-dss someoldkeytexthere r...@trustedhost
ssh-dss someotherkeytextab r...@anotherhost

I just want to replace the first line with $(trustedhostkey) since the
whole line doesn't match the new key but it does match ssh-dss at the
beginning and r...@trustedhost at the end. (If the right key is already
in the file, then it can be left alone.)

Before I had something like

vars:

    "key" string => remotescalar("root_key", "trustedhost", "yes"); #
yes = encryption
    "key_fields" slist => splitstring("$(key)", " ", 3)

delete_lines:

    "$(key_fields[0]) .* $(key_fields[2])";

insert_lines:

    "$(key)";

But now I've noticed that the indexing of an slist doesn't work. I've
been playing around with replace_patterns, trying to figure out how I
might use $(match.N) backrefs, but no success yet.

Any thoughts on how to do this?

Thanks,
Justin
