authorized-keys-test(1p)

NAME

    authorized-keys-test - Validate a authorized_keys file

SYNOPSIS

    authorized-keys-test ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

DESCRIPTION

authorized-keys-test reads in the keys of an ssh client authorized_keys file and reports any errors.

OPTIONS

-v

Verbose mode. Turns on DEBUG instead of INFO.

-s

Strict mode. If on, the test insists on properly formatted authorized_keys files and isn't nearly as lenient as the sshd daemon's parser.

EXAMPLES

  $ authorized-keys-test ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
  /home/joe/.ssh/authorized_keys ok
  Found 4 keys
    * ssh-2
    * ssh-2
    * ssh-2
    * ssh-2
     # strict mode:
  $ authorized-keys-test -s ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
  AuthorizedKeysFile.pm-69: Key [eme alsdkfj] failed sanity check -- ignored
  AuthorizedKeysFile.pm-71: Strict mode on: Abort
  /home/joe/.ssh/authorized_keys *not* ok
  Found 4 keys
    * ssh-2
    * ssh-2
    * ssh-2
    * ssh-2
