Description Andrew R. Jones 2005-03-11 16:14:16 AEDT

ssh-keygen claims that the new -H option writes the results to standard output:
"Hash a known_hosts file, printing the result to standard output." It doesn't,
though:
<9 arjones@server /tmp>ssh-keygen -H
/home/arjones/.ssh/known_hosts updated.
Original contents retained as /home/arjones/.ssh/known_hosts.old
WARNING: /home/arjones/.ssh/known_hosts.old contains unhashed entries
Delete this file to ensure privacy of hostnames
<10 arjones@server /tmp>

You are correct, the man page is wrong.  (I believe it's referring to an older
version of -H).

Patch applied to OpenBSD, it will appear in Portable next sync.  Thanks for the
report.
