.SH NAME
srp-gen \- generate a password verifier for the SRP protocol.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B srp-gen
.RI [ options ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B srp-gen
command.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below.
.PP
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, 
.\" respectively.
\fBsrp-gen\fP is a program that generates a password verifier for the Secure
Remote Password protocol. The password verifier should be stored as
~/.lsh/srp-verifier on the target (remote) machine on which you want to
authenticate using SRP.

For more information about SRP, see the "srp" node of the "Getting started"
section of the Lsh manual available via the info system.
