+Maybe we should use George? As you point out - it doesn't actually
+have to do any user authentication. It seems like a waste to have a
+virtual machine that does nothing but deny people's ssh connections.
+And - george is already setup and ready to go.

+I like the idea of using George for this.  There's nothing wrong with
+denying people's ssh connections.  Also, we could make public user
+account with limited shells that we could add User IDs that we want to
+encourage to try out the monkeysphere from that perspective.  For
+example, if one of the George admins who is listed as an
+identity-certifier has already certified Foo T. Bar's key, we could
+write a simple note like:
+
+	Dear Foo T. Bar--
+	
+	The user account "foo@george.riseup.net" has been created for
+	you.  You can ssh into it by adding an authentication subkey
+	to your OpenPGP key and publishing it to the public keyservers
+	(or to george.riseup.net).  The easiest way to do this is with
+	the monkeysphere.
+	
+	You can verify george's ssh host key with the monkeysphere
+	before you connect to the host.  Here's how...

+I'm fine with closing this bug, unless we want to set up the limited
+shell access/welcome letter like i described above.  If we want to do
+that, it'd be worth keeping it open until those scripts are written.
+
+I envision a script you'd invoke like:
+
+	root@george# addmsuser foo 'Foo T. Bar <foo@example.org>'
+
+Which would create the `foo` account, populate
+`~foo/.config/monkeysphere/authorized_user_ids`, make a note in a log
+someplace, and send a welcome letter.

+That idea really seems like a lot more trouble than it's worth to me,
+and I'm not really willing to maintain it myself, but if someone else
+wants to handle that, that would be fine with me.
