openssh unix dev - Feb 2012 - any hope for bug 1663 or similar function?

Hi folks,

Is there any hope for an external source of public keys, such as given
in bug 1663?

I have dozens of servers, and I have to patch sshd on the vast
majority of them.  OpenSSH is a BSD program, but the BSD boxes are the
most difficult to manage because of this.

Thanks,
==ml

Yes, I'm aware that this has been on my TODO list for too long. I hope to
come up with some command or agent-based solution (ideally based on one
of the existing patches) soon, but have had some other work queued ahead of
it for a while. I hope I'll be able to do it for 6.1.
