Keys may be specified as a text file, listing one public key per line, or as
an OpenSSH Key Revocation List (KRL) as generated by
.Xr ssh-keygen 1 .
+This file may be consulted for each public key authentication attempt
+received by
+.Xr sshd 8
+and its contents must be consistent at all times, therefore it should only
+be atomically replaced and never modified in place while the server is running.
For more information on KRLs, see the KEY REVOCATION LISTS section in
