Hi.

ssh-keygen(1)'s description of the "-b" options should also
document
the valid parameters for ECDSA keys (namely the curves).


Cheers,
Chris.

good point, the text now reads:
> For ECDSA keys, the -b flag determines they key 
> length by selecting from one of three elliptic 
> curve sizes: 256, 384 or 521 bits.  Attempting 
> to use bit lengths other than these three values 
> for ECDSA keys will fail.
