.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.

33

\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.
