[Bug 920636] Re: Clearing up language in man page of ssh-keygen

[Ken Sharp]

Would it not be better to send this upstream rather than having it
sitting around, ignored, on Launchpad for years?

Title:
  Clearing up language in man page of ssh-keygen

Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The man page of ssh-keygen states that "if the passphrase is lost or
  forgotten, a new key must be generated and copied to the corresponding
  public key to other machines."

  This seems to be a wording snafu. I've attached a small diff to
  attempt a fix so that the meaning becomes more clear.
