Hi, Here's a few ideas around these issues:
1. kerberos. Doesn't kerberos solve these issues? I wish kde and gnome had better kerberos support. It would be cool to have kmail & evolution working as single sigh-on programs %) 2. LDAP over TLS. I saw a patch in the ssh maillinglist archives that makes it possible for ssh to dl the keys from a ldap server instead of ~/. Since LDAP can be encrypted, you'll have a secure way to move the keys (I think). Maybe this could somehow be integrated into pam-ldap? just my .o2 C.
