Comment 1 for bug 156636

This patch is very useful for people running on LDAP infrastructure. It allows us to keep authorized_keys in LDAP instead of files on individual machines. It would be very useful to have this patch either in the default openssh-server, or a special version of that package. It is currently an option on Gentoo at least. Thanks!
