Re: funny outputs of ssh-vulnkey

The -a option attempts to scan all keys on the machine, you need to
run it as root if you want to check every key that the script knows
about.

I would add that on remote NFS directories root could have not
privileges to read such files, so those 'funny' outputs are
perfectly justified.

So this behavior is intentional, and ssh-vulnkey searches
keys more thoroughly than previous versions if I understand 
correctly.

In my case, there is no directory /var/spool/lpd/.ssh
so, IMHO, an expected message would be something like
there is no such file or directory.
