Hello! I'm now just going through installing the lsh keys for folks in
their account and have discovered that this is probably more tedious than
it could be. Under OpenSSH I need to do the following:
---
subversions:/home/cvs# /usr/sbin/usermod -d /home/sbooth sbooth
subversions:/home/cvs# mkdir /home/sbooth
subversions:/home/cvs# chown sbooth /home/sbooth
subversions:/home/cvs# mkdir /home/sbooth/.ssh
subversions:/home/cvs# chown sbooth /home/sbooth/.ssh
Last, have the user send their `identity.pub' file, and save it in this
directory as `authorized_keys'.
subversions:/home/cvs# chmod 600 /home/sbooth/.ssh/authorized_keys
subversions:/home/cvs# chown sbooth /home/sbooth/.ssh/authorized_keys
---
what I'm proposing is a hack of lsh-authorize that takes a -u argument
for a username. It should be an easy enough hack of the shell script and
will save me much grief. Will you accept it?
