[Bug 524226] Re: ssh-import-id - retrieve a key from a public keyserver and add to the authorized_keys file

[Colin Watson]

I'd prefer to think about this quite hard before adding it to openssh,
value-add or not - the security properties worry me given that this is
something that grants access to an account based on data retrieved from
a remote system (and not everyone trusts https alone).  ssh-copy-id is
quite different because it simply pushes data over ssh.
