puttygen reference in documentation
Brought to you by:

Hi,
In the 'Public-key Authentication' section of of putty_users_guide_1.5.2.pdf it says 'PuTTY for Symbian OS can only use key files created with PuTTYgen on a Windows PC'. I've just tried with the puttygen included in Debian stable (squeeze) and the key worked first time [1]. Could the documentation be relaxed to simply say 'files created with PuTTYgen', or note that puttygen on other platforms will work too?
[1] puttygen -t rsa -b 2048 -C 'phone-e61' -o e61-priv-key.ppk and then puttygen -L e61-priv-key.ppk >> $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
thanks,
kk
