24Generate public/private RSA keypair and exit. 24Generates a single RSA key-pair. The public key will be stored in F<< I<path> >>
25while the private key will be stored in F<< I<path> .privkey >>. Neither file must be
26non-empty for this to succeed.
27
28The public key file F<< I<path> >> is normally copied to F<pubkey/nodename> in
29the config directory on all nodes, while the private key F<< I<path>.privkey >>
30should be copied to the file F<hostkey> on the node the key is for.
31
32It's recommended to generate the keypair on the node where it will be
33used, so that the private key file does not have to travel over the
34network.

38Generate public/private RSA key-pairs for all nodes not having a key and exit.
39
40Note that in normal configurations this will fail, as there cna only be
41one private key per host. To make this configuration work you need to
42specify separate keyfiles for hostkeys in your config file, e.g.:
43
44 private-key = hostkeys/%s
45
46Such a configuration makes it easier to distribute a configuration
47centrally but requires private keys to be transported securely over the
48network.
