I was working on an external parser for known_hosts files and found this
line in the sshd(8) man page that didn't match the format description
above and wasn't sure how to deal with it. After briefly discussing with
Bob Beck, I realized that it's the obsolete rsa1 format key that appears
to be no longer supported by openssh.
This patch simply removes the offending line, making the example
consistent with the text description of the format. It doesn't seem like
other man pages reference the old-style keys, so it doesn't seem
necessary to include a warning here either.
(this is my first patch submission to openbsd, so hopefully I've done it
in an acceptable way!)
