Bug ID: 3989
Summary: man page confuses private and public key for
mldsa44_ed25519
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 10.5p1
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: P5
Component: Documentation
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
Reporter: ironicx at virtualfreedom.de
The sshd(8) man page recommends including the id_mldsa44_ed25519
private key in the authorized_keys file.
Reference: https://man.openbsd.org/sshd#AUTHORIZED_KEYS_FILE_FORMAT
The section states:
You don't want to type them in; instead, copy the id_ecdsa.pub,
id_ecdsa_sk.pub, id_ed25519.pub, id_ed25519_sk.pub, id_mldsa44_ed25519,
or the id_rsa.pub file and edit it.
It should state:
You don't want to type them in; instead, copy the id_ecdsa.pub,
id_ecdsa_sk.pub, id_ed25519.pub, id_ed25519_sk.pub,
id_mldsa44_ed25519.pub, or the id_rsa.pub file and edit it.
