Unclear example for users with multiple keys

Closed this issue 11 years ago · 2 comments

The manpage cites an example to encrypt data for multiple users or users with multiple keys. However the example is unclear on users with multiple keys. The manpage should state somewhere that when passed the -u flag, it will read all keys for found that user.

Actually, it will always use multiple keys if multiple keys are found, regardless of whether or not they are in the file specified via '-k', in '~/.ssh/authorized_keys' or '/etc/ssh/authorized_keys//' or in ldap. I'll see if I can improve the wording.
