Hi folks,

Since Docker can bind-mount every .ssh directory I am looking for
some way to forbid unprotected private keys.

AFAICS it is currently not possible on the sshd to verify that
the peer's private key was protected by a passphrase. Can you
confirm?

That's not possible - the client could simply lie about whether the
key was password-protected and the server has no way to determine the
truth.


Thanx very much for your detailed replies. I take this as a confirmation.

Of course I did not mean to blame openssh for this problem.


Regards
Harri
