Name        : monkeysphere
Product     : Fedora 16
Version     : 0.35
Release     : 5.fc16
URL         : http://web.monkeysphere.info/
Summary     : Use the OpenPGP web of trust to verify SSH connections
Description :
SSH key-based authentication is tried-and-true, but it lacks a true
Public Key Infrastructure for key certification, revocation and
expiration.  Monkeysphere is a framework that uses the OpenPGP web of
trust for these PKI functions.  It can be used in both directions: for
users to get validated host keys, and for hosts to authenticate users.

ChangeLog:

* Wed Jul 18 2012 Patrick Uiterwijk <puiterwijk at gmail.com> - 0.35-5
- Set owner correctly for /var/lib/monkeysphere and /var/lib/monkeysphere/authorized_keys for sshd to read them (RHBZ #732203)
- Make monkeysphere use sudo instead of su to make it able to execute privileged operations with /sbin/nologin login shell (RHBZ #732191)
* Fri Jan 13 2012 Fedora Release Engineering <rel-eng at lists.fedoraproject.org> - 0.35-4
- Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_17_Mass_Rebuild

References:

  [ 1 ] Bug #732191 - privileged operations don't work because user "monkeysphere" has /sbin/nologin as shell

  [ 2 ] Bug #732203 - ssh authentication fails: "bad ownership or modes for directory /var/lib/monkeysphere/authorized_keys"
