 Handle multiple hostnames (multiple user IDs?) when generating host

+Work out the details (and describe a full use case) for assigning a

+Actually enable server hostkey publication.

+Streamline host key generation, publication, verification.  See

+
+Ensure that authorized_user_ids are under as tight control as ssh
+   expects from authorized_keys: we don't want monkeysphere to be a
+   weak link in the filesystem.
+
+What happens when a user account has no corresponding
+   /etc/monkeysphere/authorized_user_ids/$USER file?  What gets placed
+   in /var/cache/monkeysphere/authorized_keys/$USER?  It looks
+   currently untouched, which could mean bad things for such a user.
+   - if authorized_user_ids is empty, then the user's authorized_keys
+     file will be also, unless the user-controlled authorized_keys file
+     is added.  I believe this is expected, correct behavior.
+
+Consider the default permissions for
+   /var/cache/monkeysphere/authorized_keys/* (and indeed the whole
+   directory path leading up to that)
+
+As an administrator, how do i reverse the effect of a
+   "monkeysphere-server trust-keys" that i later decide i should not
+   have run?
+
 Make sure alternate ports are handled for known_hosts.
