Hi, man ssh-keygen says: -a rounds When saving a private key, this option specifies the number of KDF (key derivation function) rounds used. Higher numbers result in slower passphrase verification and increased resistance to brute-force password cracking (should the keys be stolen). What constitutes "Higher" here? Is 100 high or is 100000 high? What's the default number of rounds in the absence of the -a option? Could the default value be added to the manpage? cheers, raf _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
