+Next-Steps Monkeysphere Projects:
+---------------------------------
+
+Detail advantages of monkeysphere: detail the race conditions in ssh,
+ and how the monkeysphere can help you reduce these threat vectors:
+ threat model reduction diagrams.
+
+Determine how openssh handles multiple processes writing to
+ known_hosts/authorized_keys files (lockfile, atomic appends?)
+
+Handle unverified monkeysphere hosts in such a way that they're not
+ always removed from known_hosts file. Ask user to lsign the host
+ key?
+
+Handle multiple hostnames (multiple user IDs?) when generating host
+ keys with gen-key.
+
+Work out the details (and describe a full use case) for assigning a
+ REVOKER during monkeysphere-server gen_key -- how is this set? How
+ do we export it so it's available when a second-party revocation is
+ needed?
+
+Actually enable server hostkey publication.
+
+Streamline host key generation, publication, verification. See
+ doc/george/host-key-publication for what dkg went through on
+ 2008-06-19
+
+Ensure that authorized_user_ids are under as tight control as ssh
+ expects from authorized_keys: we don't want monkeysphere to be a
+ weak link in the filesystem.
+
+What happens when a user account has no corresponding
+ /etc/monkeysphere/authorized_user_ids/$USER file? What gets placed
+ in /var/cache/monkeysphere/authorized_keys/$USER? It looks
+ currently untouched, which could mean bad things for such a user.
+ - if authorized_user_ids is empty, then the user's authorized_keys
+ file will be also, unless the user-controlled authorized_keys file
+ is added. I believe this is expected, correct behavior.
+
+Consider the default permissions for
+ /var/cache/monkeysphere/authorized_keys/* (and indeed the whole
+ directory path leading up to that)
+
+As an administrator, how do i reverse the effect of a
+ "monkeysphere-server trust-keys" that i later decide i should not
+ have run?
+
+Make sure alternate ports are handled for known_hosts.
+
+Script to import private key into ssh agent.
+
+Provide a friendly interactive UI for marginal or failing client-side
+ hostkey verifications. Handle the common cases smoothly, and
+ provide good debugging info for the unusual cases.
+
+Make sure onak properly escapes user IDs with colons in them.
+
+Build a decent, presentable web site for documentation, evangelism,
+ etc. Include a mention of how to report trouble or concerns.
+
+Create ssh2openpgp or convert to full-fledged keytrans.
+
+Resolve the bugs listed in openpgp2ssh(1):BUGS.
+
+Understand and document alternate trustdb models.
+
+Understand and document the output of gpg --check-trustdb:
+ gpg: 3 marginal(s) needed, 1 complete(s) needed, PGP trust model
+ gpg: depth: 0 valid: 2 signed: 20 trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 2u
+ gpg: depth: 1 valid: 20 signed: 67 trust: 15-, 0q, 1n, 3m, 1f, 0u
+ gpg: next trustdb check due at 2008-10-09
+
+Understand and document the numeric values between sig! and the keyid
+ in "gpg --check-sigs $KEYID" . Compare with the details found from
+ "gpg --with-colons --check-sigs $KEYID". This has to do with trust
+ signatures.
+
+Fix gpg's documentation to clarify the difference between validity and
+ ownertrust. Include better documentation for trust signatures.
+
+Make it easier to do domain-relative ssh host trust signatures with
+ gnupg. (e.g. "i trust Jamie McClelland (keyID 76CC057D) to properly
+ identify ssh servers in the mayfirst.org domain") See:
+ http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#section-5.2.3.21 and grep for
+ "tsign" in gpg(1).
+
+Fix the order of questions when user does a tsign in gpg or gpg2.
+
+File bug against ssh-keygen about how "-R" option removes comments
+ from known_hosts file.
+
+File bug against ssh-keygen to see if we can get it to write to hash a
+ known_hosts file to/from stdout/stdin.
+
+Add environment variables sections to man pages.
+
+Environment variable scoping.
+
+Move environment variable precedence before conf file.
+
+When using ssh-proxycommand, if only host keys found are expired or
+ revoked, then output loud warning with prompt, or fail hard.
+
+Update monkeysphere-ssh-proxycommand man page with new keyserver
+ checking policy info.
+
+Update monkeysphere-ssh-proxycommand man page with info about
+ no-connect option.
