||
| 19 | lsh-make-seed \- program to generate a yarrow random seed file |
||
| 20 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
||
| 21 | .B lsh-make-seed |
||
| 22 | .RI [ options ] |
||
| 23 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
||
| 24 | This manual page documents briefly the |
||
| 25 | .B lsh-make-seed |
||
| 26 | command. |
||
| 27 | This manual page was written for the Debian distribution |
||
| 28 | because the original program does not have a manual page. |
||
| 29 | Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below. |
||
| 30 | .PP |
||
| 31 | .\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and |
||
| 32 | .\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, |
||
| 33 | .\" respectively. |
||
| 34 | \fBlsh-make-seed\fP is a program that creates an initial random seed file for |
||
| 35 | the yarrow pseudo-randomness-generator used by both the lsh server and client. |
||
| 36 | .SH OPTIONS |
||
| 37 | This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long |
