+SSH-KEYSIGN(8) OpenBSD 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 global
+ client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting EnableSSHKeysign
+ 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 authentica-
+ 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.

+HISTORY
+ ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2.
