Dear guix,

The openssh service is configured with a list of authorized keys, as a
list of items, where each item is a list of 2 values, the user name (as
a string) and the public key file (a file-like object). The service can
be extended with new keys.

To have multiple keys per user, we can put them on the same file-like
object, each on its own line. However, if we put two different records,
only the last one is remembered.

This is a problem if we want to extend the service for users that
already have a key. As I am trying to create a service that would
convert GPG keys to SSH keys, I am in this exact situation: the users
may have already defined SSH keys, and I want to add some more without
losing the others.

Best regards,

Vivien

I have a patch, what do you think?

I tested it by building an operating system of the form:

(operating-system
...
(services
(append
(list
(service openssh-service-type
(openssh-configuration
(authorized-keys
`(("root" ,(plain-file "first-key" "ssh-rsa ..."))
("root" ,(plain-file "second-key" "ssh-rsa ..."))))))))))

I caught the derivation to build the authorized-keys directory, and root
had 2 keys. Without the patch, root had only 1 key.

this should work.

Could you write it in functional style using a vhash (info "(guile)
VHashes")? You’ll probably need two list traversals: one to build the
user/key mapping, and one to compute the list of users.

Thanks in advance,
Ludo’.

I thought that as the vhash data structure inherited the drawbacks of
vlist, it would not be worth using in place of a hash table, but you’re
saying that it’s still a better (more functional) data structure, noted.

Here is the new patch (and I also forgot that appending short lists to
long lists was not great, so I do all the appending at the end of the
function now).

I find it a bit hard to read. What I had in mind is along these lines:

(match (openssh-authorized-keys config)
(((users _ ...) ...)
;; Build a user/key-list mapping.
(let ((user-keys (fold (lambda (spec table)
(match spec
((user keys ...)
(vhash-cons user keys table))))
vlist-null
(openssh-authorized-keys config))))
;; Coalesce the key lists associated with each user.
(map (lambda (user)
(concatenate (vhash-fold* cons '() user user-keys)))
users))))

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

That’s way cleaner. I didn’t know of vhash-fold*, it seems to save the
day!

(just fixing the final map function not to forget the user name in the
alist, and removing "spec")

I realized we could just use ‘alist->vhash’ instead of (fold …) so I did
that.

Applied, thanks!
