SSH-keygen2 The ssh-keygen2 is a tool that generates and manages authentication keys for SSH2. Each user wishing to use SSH2 with public key authentication can run this tool to create authentication keys. Additionally, the system administrator may use this to generate host keys for the SSH Secure Shell server.
SYNOPSIS ssh-keygen2 [-b bits] [-t key_algorithm] [-c comment_string] [-e file] [-p passphrase] [-P] [-\?] [-h] [-q] [-1 file] [-i] [-V] [-r] [-F file] [key1 key2 ...] OPTIONS -b bits Length of the key in bits, for example 1024 bits. -t key_algorithm The algorithm used in key generation. Currently only DSS (Digital Signature Standard) is supported. (In some distributions, RSA is, too.) -c comment_string Specify the key's comment string. -e file Edit the specified key. Makes ssh-keygen2 interactive. You can change the key's passphrase or comment. -p passphrase Specify the passphrase used. -P Specify that the key will be saved with an empty passphrase. -h | -\? Print a short summary of ssh-keygen2 commands. -q Hide the progress indicator. -1 file Convert key from ssh1 format to ssh2 format. -V Print version string and exit. -r Stir in data from stdin to the random pool. -F file Dump the fingerprint of a given publickey. The finger- print is given in the Bubble Babble format, which makes the fingerprint look like a string of "real" words (making it easier to remember).
