Description Christian LESTRADE 2005-05-21 06:28:08 AEST 
I had some difficulties in order to convert private keys between different
implementations of SSH.

So, I wrote the attached patch to allow export of SSH2 RSA and DSA private
keys into IETF SECSH format.

Note that I also slightly revised the IETF SECSH key import code.

Usage: use of the "-e" option on a private key file generates an unencrypted
private key file in IETF SECSH format.

I had mistakenly assumed that this format was a public specification, but I can't find any RFC or format documentation for this format. Since it is only used by a commercial product, I'd rather not promote it further.
