+SSH-KEYSIGN(8)              System Manager's Manual             SSH-KEYSIGN(8)
+
+NAME
+     ssh-keysign - ssh helper program for hostbased authentication
+
+SYNOPSIS
+     ssh-keysign
+
+DESCRIPTION
+     ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate
+     the digital signature required during hostbased authentication with SSH
+     protocol version 2.
+
+     ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the the
+     global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting
+     HostbasedAuthentication to ``yes''.
+
+     ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh(1).
+     See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about hostbased authenticaM--
+     tion.
+
+FILES
+     /etc/ssh/ssh_config
+             Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled.
+
+     /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
+             These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to
+             generate the digital signature.  They should be owned by root,
+             readable only by root, and not accessible to others.  Since they
+             are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if
+             hostbased authentication is used.
