One of the nasty things about the recent OpenSSH vulnerability is that it
affects non-debian systems, too.

Thankfully the script to find the bad keys was written in Perl. With a
bit of back-porting, I managed to get it to work with perl 5.6.1, and
thanks to the magic of [0]Module::Install, I have made a tarball which
includes the dependencies of the debian-published script and uploaded to
CPAN as [1]Dowse::BadSSH.

Unlike the published script, the updated dowkd.pl is capable of removing
bad keys and checks more places on the system, such as known_hosts files
and the system host key.

Portability patches more than welcomed.

Yes, I realise I probably should have based my work off [2]the upstream
sources
