This file describes some mostly independent subprojects for lsh.
Before starting on any of them, please contact me (Niels Mller
<nisse@lysator.liu.se); someone may already be working on it already,
and we need to coordinate.
Port forwarding services
X,
ssh-agent,
UDP (not in the spec, but that's no reason why it couldn't be
implemented).
User interface. This includes command line options, configuration
files, an escape-character mechanism and any features attached to that,
including a command mode to create or terminate forwarded ports and
channels interactively.
Key storage, generation and management.
SPKI support. Using SPKI certificates to grant access for groups and
individuals seems like a good thing to me (even if I suspect
that its usefulness is greater for more specialized services than
login). I also find it appealing to send SPKI hashed key id:s rather
than the public keys themselves in the publickey authentication
protocol.
SSH agent (does anybody have a specification of the protocol(s) used
by ssh-agent?)
Projects not to do:
PAM support. (Looked at it. Didn't like it. See NOTES for details).
