            Bug ID: 2157
           Summary: [man] ssh-keygen page says ECDSA keys can be 521 bits
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 6.2p1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All

Change "521" to "512" bits

Just noticed when looking up how to make an ECDSA key that you
apparently can do 521 bit keys, rather than 512.

First source I found to link:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/ssh/ssh-keygen.1
("openssh-6.3 for release" in version.h at that repository as of
writing)

I can only assume this is incorrect and that the documentation should
state 512 bits instead.

I have no idea whether the patch is in a proper format for you to
receive. But then again, it's tiny.

Haha, no never mind! I was just corrected as I was pressing submit.
Apparently it _is_ 521. I apologise.
