It should be fairly straight-forward to extract the public keys of a (subset of) a pgp keyring file and format them into a .ssh/authorized_keys file, if that is sufficient for your needs. I looked into reading pgp's file format some year ago, but I don't have any working code. The users would also have to massage their private pgp keys into ssh's format. That should also be fairly straight-forward, but you'll have to read the source-code as the private key format used by ssh seems not to be documented. And I'm only talking of rsa keys and ssh-1 here; I don't really know what algorithms are understood by both ssh-2 and pgp-5, and whether or not they are compatible. /Niels
