For management of larger sites is useful to use distributed authorized

There are possibility of use popen (agent) instead  of open
(authorized_keys). The feature is triggered a new configure option.
The two sshd_config options configure the agent run string and the user
account used for running the agent. It's accepted that the agent output
is the same as the file format of authorized_keys2 file. Local
authorized_key files are skipped in the case of the active agent. Only
the protocol 2 is supported actually.
