Description of problem: Man page of ssh-keygen has missing documentation for option -n. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openssh-5.3p1-34.el6 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. man ssh-keygen Actual results: -n not documented Expected results: -n documented Additional info: This is really an easy fix and the developer is willing to fix it
Also this option should be added to usage: # ssh-keygen -h ssh-keygen: illegal option -- h usage: ssh-keygen [options] Options: -a trials Number of trials for screening DH-GEX moduli. -B Show bubblebabble digest of key file. -b bits Number of bits in the key to create. -C comment Provide new comment. -c Change comment in private and public key files. -e Convert OpenSSH to RFC 4716 key file. -F hostname Find hostname in known hosts file. -f filename Filename of the key file. -G file Generate candidates for DH-GEX moduli. -g Use generic DNS resource record format. -H Hash names in known_hosts file. -i Convert RFC 4716 to OpenSSH key file. -l Show fingerprint of key file. -M memory Amount of memory (MB) to use for generating DH-GEX moduli. -N phrase Provide new passphrase. -P phrase Provide old passphrase. -p Change passphrase of private key file. -q Quiet. -R hostname Remove host from known_hosts file. -r hostname Print DNS resource record. -S start Start point (hex) for generating DH-GEX moduli. -T file Screen candidates for DH-GEX moduli. -t type Specify type of key to create. -v Verbose. -W gen Generator to use for generating DH-GEX moduli. -y Read private key file and print public key. NOTE: As the function which prints usage is already available. Adding -h option would be very nice also
