Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

1st: The reason why this report is being filed here is due to the following 
statement:
At the bottom of the OpenSSH Server Page it states the following:
"To report a problem, visit the bug page for Ubuntu Documentation"
Where "bug page for Ubuntu Documentation" is a link to:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs
If this is not the place to file this report, then the link listed above needs 
to be changed on that page.

The page for which this report is in reference too:
https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html

The section of the page for which this report is in reference too:
The section entitled "SSH Keys".

Problem:
This page is in reference to installing and configuring OpenSSH server, but in 
the section at the bottom of the page entitled "SSH Keys" it states the 
following:
"ssh-copy-id usern...@remotehost"
The word "remotehost" should be changed to "remoteclient" unless "host" was 
really the intended word in which case a larger problem is revealed. Assuming 
that the host is the server that is hosting a client, then this page is in 
reference to setting up the host, and there should be no dialogue in reference 
to the host being "remote" because we are physically sitting at the machine 
where the host is being set up in the first place.

Request:
Could someone please fix the wording on the given page or move the "SSH Keys" 
section to the client side setup documentation of OpenSSH? Also, could the 
OpenSSH documentation be more clearly separated into client and host sections 
in general? This would greatly improve the readability of the documentation and 
would make it much easier to follow.

Thanks.
