Hi.

ssh-keygen(1) says:
>If the passphrase is lost or forgotten, a new key must be generated
>and copied to the corresponding public key to other machines.

Shouldn't that rather read something like:
>If the passphrase is lost or forgotten, a new key must be generated
>and the corresponding public key copied to other machines.


Cheers,
Chris.
