Apr 10	comment	Allow apache to write to users' .ssh dir's Thanks; that sounds like a pretty elegant solution and doesn't sacrifice the on-demand key generation, which is nice. Might I ask why you suggest that I "look hard for alternatives" to server-side key generation?

Apr 10	comment	Allow apache to write to users' .ssh dir's That sounds like a better idea, for sure. Can you help me think through the specifics of such a solution, though? I would essentially need to run that script as root, correct (or, at the least, a user with sudo privileges for `chmod`, `chgrp`, and `useradd`)? Is there a better approach by changing the user's default groups on `useradd`, for instance?
