how do I update my key et.al.

how do I update my key et.al.

[Andrew Cagney]

(I know someone was adding it to a project specific page, but) Can I 
suggest putting the information on sourceware.org's home page?  Then 
projects can just link to that for current best practice.

(Oh, and how do I run those scripts when you've got full ssh access :-)

Look at /etc/passwd and it seems the script is located at:

/sourceware/infra/bin/rash

Er, yeah, that's the login shell for people who don't have full access.
If you have full access you don't need that script.  The instructions
you need for updating ssh information would be in the ssh man pages.

The script isn't intended to be run by people who can login.

  But reading the source may prove instructive  :)

It'd be nice to know what e.g. the mail forwarding command
corresponded to though, if someone's writing documentation.

Knowing the sourceware.org uses qmail, typing "qmail forwarding" in
google leads to a very good hit.  Also "man qmail" should bring you
there fairly quickly.

Actually, "man forward" gets you to the right spot very quickly.

If someone wants to write instructions for a shell user then I guess I
can't really object but I don't really think this is something that
deserves a lot of attention.  This is a technical site so it seems like
shell access should be providing you with all of the documentation you
need.

If you need to come here to ask where the web documentation is for a
login user then it seems like you've already skipped an important piece
of information.
