By default there is only one user (``vyos``), and you can assign any number of keys to that user. You can generate a ssh key with the ``ssh-keygen`` command on your local -machine, which will (by default) save it as ``~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`` which is in -three parts: +machine, which will (by default) save it as ``~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub``. - ``ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAA...VByBD5lKwEWB username@host.example.com`` +Every SSH key comes in three parts: -Only the type (``ssh-rsa``) and the key (``AAAB3N...``) are used. Note that -the key will usually be several hundred characters long, and you will need to -copy and paste it. Some terminal emulators may accidentally split this over -several lines. Be attentive when you paste it that it only pastes as a single -line. The third part is simply an identifier, and is for your own reference. +``ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABAA...VBD5lKwEWB username@host.example.com`` +Only the type (``ssh-rsa``) and the key (``AAAB3N...``) are used.
