Hi, I'm pretty new to pgp and gpg so please bare with me.
I'm using gnupg 2.1.2 and trying to use an authentication sub key for ssh logins. I'm also attempting to not go via converting the gpg key into an ssh key. I.e. I use the new --key-grip option and load the key-grip straight into .gnupg/sshcontrol All's groovy until I tried to use it for gitolite. Gitolite uses the presented ssh key as authentication against it's collection of ssh pub keys. So in order to authenticate with the correct user you need to present the correct key. To present the correct key I use .ssh/confg to define the identityFile (ssh key) used for that user. The problem is I can't add an ssh comment if I don't put the key through something like monkeyshere or gpgkey2ssh. With the comment being the virtual ssh key location .ssh/config works as normal for defining hosts and associated keys. So, in my limited understanding, would it not be useful to be able to set the ssh key comment in the .gnupg/sshcontrol file as a flag? So that if I add the keygrip to sshcontrol and do ssh-add -L I would be presented with: ssh-rsa ***key*** comment-as-flag as apposed to: ssh-rsa ***key*** (none) Or am I being silly and should just go via transforming in into an actual ssh key and importing that via ssh-add. Does that not create two keys from one though? I think I'm subscribed to the list but in case I'm not please cc me. Thanks, Donavan
