I don't mind having to type my password whenever I login, I've been doing 
that all along.  But I don't like the idea of putting extra stuff in the 
kas database, it's not mine and the folk who run it will rightly object to 
special casing me.

I'm woefully ignorant of much of this - I'm just trying to upgrade from the 
no-longer-secure SSH1.  And the SSH1 sshd I've been running has never 
needed changes to the kas database.  So I'm puzzled as to why I should have 
to start doing that with SSH2.

Yeah, I got that part.
