pks for openssh

[Vincent Danen]

I was directed to the following site by one of our customers regarding  
a keyserver built into openssh.  There's a patch for 3.4p1 on their  
site, but the license isn't very clear, nor is it clear if they have  
approached the openssh team regarding the inclusion of this subsystem  
into openssh proper.

I've been asked to patch Mandrake's openssh with this feature, but I'm  
hesitant until I know what others think and, primarily, whether or not  
they have even contacted people like Markus or Theo about this.  The  
RFC is written by them, and it looks like they sell some commercial  
software around this idea as well.

Here is links to more info:

subsystem.txt

The idea of it sounds interesting, but I would really like to know if  
they have approached anyone regarding having it included in openssh  
proper.

Thanks.
