Thank you, that was an interesting read. The focus of the draft is on organisations which utilise SSH keys extensively, so in such a situation I can understand a recommendation for key rotation because ignoring it may have disastrous consequences. Users with small networks and with well managed access to them would rarely have a need to change passwords or keys at predetermined intervals. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
