26.Dt SSH-KEYSIGN 8
27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm ssh-keysign
30.Nd ssh helper program for hostbased authentication
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
Ben Lindstrom11d470d2002-06-11 15:50:13 +000032.Nm
Ben Lindstrom1bad2562002-06-06 19:57:33 +000033.Sh DESCRIPTION
34.Nm
35is used by
36.Xr ssh 1
Ben Lindstrom11d470d2002-06-11 15:50:13 +000037to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature
38required during hostbased authentication with SSH protocol version 2.
Ben Lindstrom1bad2562002-06-06 19:57:33 +000039.Nm
40is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from
41.Xr ssh 1 .
42See
43.Xr ssh 1
44and
45.Xr sshd 8
46for more information about hostbased authentication.
Ben Lindstrom11d470d2002-06-11 15:50:13 +000047.Sh FILES
48.Bl -tag -width Ds
49.It Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
50These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to
51generate the digital signature. They
52should be owned by root, readable only by root, and not
53accessible to others.
54Since they are readable only by root,
55.Nm
56must be set-uid root if hostbased authentication is used.
