Hello,
the man pages for openssh-2.3.0p1 look bad on our Tru64 Unix V4.0E
systems.
(Secure Shell) is a program for logging into a remote machine and
for executing commands on a remote machine. It is intended to
replace rlogin and rsh, and provide secure encrypted communica-
tions between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network. X11
connections and arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over
the secure channel. connects and logs into the specified The
user must prove his/her identity to the remote machine using one
of several methods depending on the protocol version used: First,
if the machine the user logs in from is listed in or on the
remote machine, and the user names are the same on both sides,
the user is immediately permitted to log in. Second, if or
exists in the user's home directory on the remote machine and
contains a line containing the name of the client machine and the
name of the user on that machine, the user is permitted to log
in. This form of authentication alone is normally not allowed by
the server because it is not secure. The second (and primary)
authentication method is the or method combined with RSA-based
host authentication. It means that if the login would be permit-
ted by or and if additionally the server can verify the client's
host key (see and in the section), only then login is permitted.
... etc.
The same happens if I use directly 'nroff -man ssh.1 | more'.
(both /usr/bin/nroff and /usr/local/bin/nroff (aka groff 1.16.1)).
