Bug#531070: mention if decoding known_hosts is possible



Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:5.1p1-5+b1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man8/sshd.8.gz

In SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS FILE FORMAT you need to answer the question "I have
this whopping ~/.ssh/known_hosts file that I would like to tidy up a
little, but I can't tell which host is which. Is there any way to decode
them? I mean it is called known_hosts, so why are they known by everybody
but me, the owner?"

Also mention that there are some tools in ssh-keygen(1) there in that
paragraph. You do mention it in SEE ALSO, but you should also mention it
there in that paragraph.
