A couple of years ago I submitted a patch which exported the SSH public
key id to the user environment. My reasoning at the time was that I
wanted a way to set up a particular environment when I connected to an
account that was shared among several different users. That patch was
never accepted, I don't recall if it was because you could use the
"user environment" functionality or what. However, now that the
environment= is recommended to be disabled I find I'm needing that sort
of functionality again.
So, can something be done to either fix the problems with environmentor
exporting the key id that was used for authentication? I don't see
what the issue is with exporting the public key id is, and it seems less
prone to problems than, for example, the environment= stuff.
Thoughts?
