While I don't think we need to do any of that now, as this approach of mine doesn't shut the doors for this kind of flexible import/export features, we can just as well provide a function for the addition of keys, and have an access-function for reading them and that should be pretty much what's needed to offer all that functionality. The functions for reading and writing OpenSSH functions could then use those functions. -- / daniel.haxx.se ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
