4 \- ssh helper program for host-based authentication
12 to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature
13 required during host-based authentication with SSH protocol version 2.

47 These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to
48 generate the digital signature.
49 They should be owned by root, readable only by root, and not
51 Since they are readable only by root,
53 must be set-uid root if host-based authentication is used.
