28: .Sh NAME
29: .Nm ssh-keysign
30: .Nd ssh helper program for hostbased authentication
31: .Sh SYNOPSIS
1.2 ! stevesk 32: .Nm
1.1 markus 33: .Sh DESCRIPTION
34: .Nm
35: is used by
36: .Xr ssh 1
1.2 ! stevesk 37: to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature
! 38: required during hostbased authentication with SSH protocol version 2.
1.1 markus 39: .Nm
40: is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from
41: .Xr ssh 1 .
42: See
43: .Xr ssh 1
44: and
45: .Xr sshd 8
46: for more information about hostbased authentication.
1.2 ! stevesk 47: .Sh FILES
! 48: .Bl -tag -width Ds
! 49: .It Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
! 50: These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to
! 51: generate the digital signature. They
! 52: should be owned by root, readable only by root, and not
! 53: accessible to others.
! 54: Since they are readable only by root,
! 55: .Nm
! 56: must be set-uid root if hostbased authentication is used.
