News in the 1999-01-08 snapshot:
A new program lsh_writekey to save a generated key pair to disk.
lsh_keygen | lsh_writekey
will generate a new dss key pair, and save it in ~/.lsh/identity and
~/.lsh/identity.pub. There's no passphrase on the private key (yet),
but at least the file is created with restrictive permissions. The
program also won't overwrite existing files (I guess a --force option
could be added).
To store a key someplace else, use for instance lsh_writekey
/etc/lsh_hostkey. The filename is the name for the private file, a
.pub suffix for the public file is added automatically.
I have also incorporated patches to deal with debians gmp2-convention.
Next task should be to have lshd actually use a key file, rather than
a fixed constant key.
Regards,
/Niels
