[Bug 2239] New: ssh-keygen cannot handle Linux with 64 char long hostname
...6.5 (2.6.32-431.3.1.el6 kernel) and openssh-5.3p1-94.el6.x86_64
OEL 6.5 (2.6.32-431.3.1.el6 kernel) and OpenSSH_6.6p1
Fedora 20 (3.15.0-rc2+ kernel) and openssh-6.4p1-3.fc20.x86_64
The above root cause seems like a intentional design decision in Linux
kernel. Unlike OpenBSD where MAXHOSTNAMELEN is _POSIX_HOST_NAME_MAX +
trailing zero
/usr/include/limits.h:#define _POSIX_HOST_NAME_MAX 255
/usr/include/sys/param.h:#define MAXHOSTNAMELEN 256 /* max
hostname size */
in Linux they are same and is up to program to reserve enough space
