Package: monkeysphere Version: 0.31-1 Severity: wishlist one of the primary things preventing me from encouraging use of monkeysphere here at freegeek is that it requires use of fully qualified domain names.
while i understand the desire to not add many potentially non-unique UIDs to the keyring, i'm wondering if it would be possible (perhaps with a commandline option) for the monkeysphere ssh-proxycommand to append the search domain(s) when someone attempts to connect to ssh without a FQDN. i.e. if someone types: ssh foo and the search domain was example.net, then the monkeysphere proxy would look for: gpg --search '=ssh://foo.example.net' and append the key appropriately to known_hosts if it verifies correctly? at the very least, it shouldn't try any monkeysphere magic when not ssh'ing to a FQDN. this comes up for me fairly often, as i sometimes connect to a service via "foo.example.net", but sometimes connect to "foo" and manually verify the key. monkeysphere deletes the entry for "foo" when i connect to "foo.example.net" later. this makes it difficult to use monkeysphere, unfortunately. live well, vagrant -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (102, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages monkeysphere depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii gnupg 1.4.10-4 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl 0.25-1+b1 Perl module providing basic RSA fu ii lockfile-progs 0.1.15 Programs for locking and unlocking ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.10.1-14 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii procmail 3.22-19 Versatile e-mail processor Versions of packages monkeysphere recommends: ii cron 3.0pl1-114 process scheduling daemon ii netcat-traditional [netcat] 1.10-38 TCP/IP swiss army knife ii openssh-client 1:5.5p1-4 secure shell (SSH) client, for sec ii ssh-askpass 1:1.2.4.1-9 under X, asks user for a passphras Versions of packages monkeysphere suggests: ii msva-perl [monkeysphere-valid 0.3-1 Cryptographic identity validation -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
