[PATCH 2/3] SSH client configuration: Hash known_hosts entries

["Peter Müller" <peter.mueller@link38.eu>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 893 bytes --]

By default, entries in ~/.ssh/known_hosts disclosure on which servers a
user as access to, allowing detailled attack against these servers.
Depending on the affected infrastructure, this might be a privacy
problem, too.

Force SSH to hash new entries in known_hosts (existing ones will not be
converted) to avoid permission disclosure.
