I tried that some time ago but ran into some problems with my university's
mix of ssh.com and openssh. Our local krb expert said it's doable, so
I'll give it another try and post an eventual solution to the wiki.

BTW: I'm reading this list through the wonderful service of gmane.org, a
mail2nntp gateway. Are there any objections against turning off the address
encryption? It breaks the arch URI scheme badly and in contrast to the mail
encryption there's no proper way to resolve the encrypted addresses.
Could the person that subscribed arch-users into gmane please request to
turn off address encryption? The gmane admin asked for confirmation from
the list admin.
