document/automate use of monkeysphere with dropbear
"dropbear":http://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/ provides a small, functional ssh server and client.
the monkeysphere should be able to work with dropbear servers and clients successfully. we should document what's needed.
For example:
to import a dropbear ssh host key into the monkeysphere, do:
/usr/lib/dropbear/dropbearconvert dropbear openssh $host_key_file /dev/fd/1 | monkeysphere-host import-key - $(hostname)
It's not clear how to convince dropbear to use authorized_keys files from somewhere other than ~/.ssh/authorized_keys :(
It's not clear whether dbclient knows how to talk to the ssh-agent.
It's not clear how dbclient implements the equivalent of openssh's known_hosts files.
