https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2534

            Bug ID: 2534
           Summary: option to get host key list from HostKeyAgent
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 7.1p1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: sshd
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: igor at mir2.org

Currently, when sshd runs with HostKeyAgent, it still requires to list
the server keys with HostKey options pointing to the public keys that
agent provides. It would be nice to have an option to load this list
from the agent when a client connects, not on startup.

This is very useful when sshd runs, for example, in a restricted
container that do not have access to a file system holding the private
keys. Thus to change the server keys I not only need to signal sshd to
reload its config, but also to ensure that the public keys are
transferred into the sshd container complicating the key management.
