I even find it pleasantly=20 written :-) For example: ~ >=3D=3D=3D=3D> ssh-keygen -d # This option is also documented=20 Generating DSA parameter and key. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/test/.ssh/id_dsa): Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /home/test/.ssh/id_dsa. Your public key has been saved in /home/test/.ssh/id_dsa.pub. The key fingerprint is: 20:0c:82:a4:14:d1:76:6f:fd:ff:40:9d:3a:58:85:4a=20 test@bartequi.ottodomain.org=20 The files mentioned -- /home/test/.ssh/id_dsa (private key) and=20 id_dsa.pub (public key) -- are right before my eyes and seem to be ok.=20 What exactly are you trying to do ?
