+To enable host verification via the monkeysphere, an OpenPGP key must
+be made out of the host's ssh key, and the key must be published to
+the Web of Trust. This is not done by default. The first step is to
+import the host's ssh key into a monkeysphere-style OpenPGP key. This
+is done with the import\-key command. When importing a key, you must
+specify the path to the host's ssh RSA key to import, and a hostname
+to use as the key's user ID:
+
+# monkeysphere\-host import\-key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key host.example.org
+
+On most systems, the ssh host RSA key is stored at
+/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.
+
+Once the host key has been imported, it must be published to the Web
+of Trust so that users can retrieve the key when sshing to the host.
+The host key is published to the keyserver with the publish\-key
