    All,

    I don't know whether this is the right group to post but I'll give it a
    shot.

    I must admit that I haven't looked how the authentication handshake happens
    and whether the feature I'm going to ask is achievable having the protocol
    in mind.

    I like to lockdown installed public keys by adding a
    'fingerprint="xx:xx:xx....:xx" option to it. I can then create a secure
    webserver and enforce strong passphrases. The user will receive a private
    key (file download in browser) and the webserver keeps the public key and
    the belonging fingerprint.

    Also a 'validuntil='<date>' option would be great to help the feature even
    more to be able to create temporary accounts. This will save me from
    tampering around with the shadowfile. 

    --
Niels.
