NAME
  ssh-pubkeymgr - Sets up public key authentication for users

SYNOPSIS
  ssh-pubkeymgr [-k keypair_name] [-h]

DESCRIPTION
  The ssh-pubkeymgr command creates the user directories and files needed to
  use public key authentication. If ssh-pubkeymgr does not locate user keys,
  it:

   1.  Runs the ssh-keygen2 command to generate keys.

   2.  Runs the ssh-agent2 command to start the authentication agent.

   3.  Creates identification and authorization files if they are not in the
       $HOME/.ssh directory, where $HOME is the name of the user's account.

   4.  Allows you to add hosts to your authorization file.

   5.  Allows you to upload your user public key to a server.

FILES
  $HOME/.ssh2/authorization
      Contains the names of the host public keys allowed to authenticate to
      this account.

  $HOME/.ssh2/identification
      Contains the names of the private keys to be used in authentication.

  $HOME/.ssh2/id_KEYTYPE_KEYLEN_x for example id_dsa_1024_a
      Contains the user's private key.

  $HOME/.ssh2/id_KEYTYPE_KEYLEN_x.pub for example id_dsa_1024_a.pub
