show my public ssh keys, a good idea?

Question

If I have many public ssh keys.

Is a good idea show all of my public keys in web page?
maybe a gist or similar .

EDIT

my problem is : when I create a new server, I have to manually copy the keys.

good idea ? That entirely depends on why you want people to have your public ssh keys. — Sirex, May 08 '12 at 01:53

Make sure you don't ignore any "HOST KEY IS DIFFERENT!1!" messages you get from your SSH client though. — Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams, May 08 '12 at 02:47

Sure, share away. There's a reason they are called public keys.

Unless there's some specific reason you don't want anyone to know that a particular public key is yours, there's no reason to keep them secret. (For example, one reason might be if you have access to a very critical machine and fear a [$5 wrench attack](http://xkcd.com/538/).) – David Schwartz May 08 '12 at 02:13
@DavidSchwartz Good point. – EEAA May 08 '12 at 02:16

yes you can share your public key, it only can be used by you and nobody else as you the only one who has private key and without that key public key is useless, so you can share with everyone it makes no difference to you if someone else got it unless you have private key.

show my public ssh keys, a good idea?
