I am going to preface this email by saying that I know very little about OpenSSH internals, the protocol, etc. I do a lot of work with novice programmers, and one step that comes up relatively early is generating SSH keys. In case you haven't done it in a while, the output looks like this: $ ssh-keygen -t rsa Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/aidan/.ssh/id_rsa): Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): When that last step comes up, I am regularly asked, "Does it mean the system password, or a new one?" A slight tweak of the language could easily eliminate that confusion... something like "Enter passphrase for the new key" or "Enter new passphrase". I would happily submit the patch myself if it wouldn't take a few hours for me to figure out how to do so :-) Thanks! _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
