[jira] [Commented] (CLOUDSTACK-2534) Packaging puts SSH private keys as public readable on management server

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-2534?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13687668#comment-13687668 ] 

Prasanna Santhanam commented on CLOUDSTACK-2534:
------------------------------------------------

Both the keys are the same private key. However one of them is public readable. While the one in /var will allow you to login to vmware hosts because of ssh security, the one under /usr still needs to be made secure enough. It shouldn't be world readable.
