RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Miroslav Vadkerti 2013-10-17 16:12:26 UTC 
Description of problem:
Bug 906872 - certificate support in OpenSSH introduced a feature but the ssh-keygen man page was not adjusted correctly. The upstream provided -n option has been changed to -Z as the original is already used by our downstream patch. This needs to be properly documented in our version of man page. Without this our patch bring in an undocumented option and the usability of the feature becomes limited.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openssh-5.3p1-94.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man ssh-keygen, check -n and -Z documentation

Actual results:
no -Z documentation

Expected results:
Properly documented -Z option for passing principal list
