Way to add users public key to account and auto merge with ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

I think it would be very handy on the user account page (edit mail/ftp users) to have a new column that says if their public key is stored or not (merged into authorized_keys). If its not, click the (missing key) icon in the column and have a box pop up where you can enter the key, click save and it will auto merge and show the key icon for that user. I think this would be fairly easy to do just using comments in the authorized_keys for each stored username with a newline to separate them.

While this could be done, I feel it would be really outside the regular scope of Virtualmin ... in most cases, mail users won't be using SSH at all.

It could be implemented as a plugin if your Perl skills are good though.

Understood. Unfortunately I have 0 Perl skills. I primarily program with php.

Thanks Jamie.
