It's +really not useful for any kind of regular use. I would rather focus +on getting openpgp2ssh to support passprotected keys. + +As another possibility, I was planning on modifying the script so that +it could export to a passprotected file. I think this would be a lot +more useful. Let me get that working, then let's revist the issue of +including it in the packaging. + +-- Big Jimmy + +--- + +Ok - sounds good to me. I'm thinking in terms of getting other people to try +out the Monkeysphere - maybe the README should just say: we're only half +done. You can verify the identity of servers, but we haven't completed the +part about verifying you to a server. Then it could say: if you're really +interested, you can run this hacky script but we make no guarantees. + +-- Sir Jam Jam + +--- + +I just realized that i think i can test for the presence of [GNU-dummy +support in +GnuTLS](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnutls-devel/2008-08/msg00005.html), +which means that we can cleanly test whether the proposed [handling of +passphrase-locked secret +keys](bugs/handle-passphrase-locked-secret-keys/) is functional. With +that in mind, I'd like to propose that we could resolve this bug +simply by adding a new subcommand: `monkeysphere subkey-to-ssh-agent`, +which would fail in the absence of a functionally-patched GnuTLS. + +Would this proposal be sufficient to resolve this bug? + +--dkg + +--- + +Version 0.11-1 now has the `monkeysphere subkey-to-ssh-agent` +subcommand, which works cleanly in the presence of a +functionally-patched GnuTLS. + +--dkg + +--- + +I'm marking this bug as [[bugs/done]] - I no longer think we should install +seckey2sshagent in bin now that we have a clean way of accomplishing that task. +Nice work dkg! + +--sjj
