openssh unix dev - Jun 2014 - patch to send incoming key to AuthorizedKeysCommand via stdin

Hi,

Are there any news on this? We are currently setting up a service that
uses Git over SSH and a single UNIX account with public key
authentication. We already have 25000 users (~10000 of which will be
regularly using the service) and in order to avoid linear search on each
login, it would be great to have support for looking up keys in a
database.

What is the status of the patch (using environment variables)? If there
is anything that needs to be done to get this included into mainline, I
would gladly help you with that.

Regards,
Lukas

The patch is stable for me - we've been using it for many months with no
issues.  It has been posted to the openssh bugzilla database at
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2081.  It is also available at
https://github.com/ScottDuckworth/openssh-akcenv.

If you find it useful then please reply to the list or bump the bug report
to get some attention put on it so that it might be included in mainline.
