33.Sh NAME
34.Nm pgp2ssh
35.Nd convert a PGP public key to an SSHv2 key
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Nm
38.Op Fl f address-family
39.Op Fl h hostname
40.Op Fl p port
41.Ar userid ...
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Nm
45command retrieves PGP public key information from the key server daemon
46using the HKP protocol, and converts the PGP public
47key to a format suitable for use by
48.Xr ssh 1 .
49The
50.Xr hkpd 1
51is normally used to serve public key information.
52The
53.Nm
54utility is similar to the
55.Xr hkpc 1
56utility in that it retrieves keys in the same way.
57In addition,
58.Nm
59will convert the format of the key.
60.Pp
61At the present time, only RSA keys are supported.
62There is no intention, at the time of writing, to
63support DSA keys, due to their limitations.
64.Pp
65It is quite possible to serve ssh public keys
66across a network using
67.Xr hkpd 1
68to serve the key, and
69.Nm
70to retrieve the key using the HKP protocol,
71and to save the key in ssh format on the remote computer,
72allowing users to login to the remote computer using
73.Xr ssh 1 .
74.Sh EXIT STATUS
75The
76.Nm
77utility will return 0 for success,
78or 1 for failure.
79Output will be printed on stdout.
80It can be redirected to a file for use by
81.Xr ssh 1 .
