3NAME
4 ssh-keysign - ssh helper program for hostbased authentication
5
6SYNOPSIS
7 ssh-keysign
8
9DESCRIPTION
10 ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate
11 the digital signature required during hostbased authentication with SSH
12 protocol version 2. ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the
13 user, but from ssh(1). See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about
14 hostbased authentication.
15
16FILES
17 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
18 These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to
19 generate the digital signature. They should be owned by root,
20 readable only by root, and not accessible to others. Since they
21 are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if
22 hostbased authentication is used.
