Bug Description

We really don't want to encourage users to use konec when they should be using GnuPG. konec should be considered as "time-shifted SFTP through an untrusted intermediary".

1. Posted messages are always signed with the host's private key and encrypted to a public key in the known_hosts or authorized_keys files -- a public key that SSH already trusts.
2. Received messages must have a signature verified with a public key in the receiving end's known_hosts or authorized keys file -- a public key that SSH already trusts.

We don't need options like -encrypt, -decrypt, -sign and -verify. We need -put, -get and -list-keys.
