server and creates a valid response to pass back to the server.

ircd(8), openssl(1).
NOTES
The private key file is protected by a passphrase, entered when the key
is created. The passphrase is prompted for whenever respond is called.
If the passphrase is passed on the command line (insecure mode), the
program will not prompt for a passphrase. This is primarily for
running rsa_respond from a script.
