SYNOPSIS
secsh-keysign
ssh-keysign
DESCRIPTION
The secsh-keysign utility is used by secsh to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during host-based authentication with SSH protocol version 2.
By default, secsh-keysign is disabled and can only be enabled in the global client configuration or by setting EnableSSHKeysign to yes.
ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from secsh. See the secsh and secshd reference pages for more information about host-based authentication.

Contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature. They should be readable only by an administrator, and not accessible to others.
