Subject: please add a link from authorized_keys.5 to sshd.8

Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2007 11:55:51 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: openssh-server
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Finding out what the various fields of the authorized_hosts file mean is
a bit of a challenge. Actually there's a hint "hidden" in the ssh.1
page: "The format of this file is described in the sshd(8) manual
page.".

It'd be nice if it'd be easier to find the information and thus I
suggest adding a link from the sshd manpage to authorized_keys.5.

Attached is a suggested patch, that could possibly be pushed to
upstream. The patch is untested.

Thanks,
*t

Changes:

 .
   * Remove blank line between head comment and first template in
     debian/openssh-server.templates.master; apparently it confuses some
     versions of debconf.
   * Install authorized_keys(5) as a symlink to sshd(8) (thanks, Tomas
     Pospisek; closes: #441817).
   * Discard error output from dpkg-query in preinsts, in case the ssh
     metapackage is not installed.
   * Fix sshd/inittab advice in README.Debian to account for rc.d movement
     (closes: #450632).
   * Suppress error from debian/rules if lsb-release is not installed.
   * Don't ignore errors from 'make -C contrib clean'.
   * Adjust categories in ssh-askpass-gnome.desktop to comply with the
     Desktop Menu Specification.
   * debconf template translations:
     - Add Slovak (thanks, Ivan Masár; closes: #441690).
     - Update Brazilian Portuguese (thanks, Eder L. Marques;
       closes: #447145).
