    <para>
      <emphasis>Showhostkey</emphasis> outputs (on standard

      Arguably, rather than just reporting the no-IN-KEY-line-found
      problem, <command>showhostkey</command> should be
      smart enough to run the existing key through <emphasis>rsasigkey</emphasis>
      with the <option>--oldkey</option> option, to generate a suitable output
