Description

The sshKeyDistribution technique makes two assumptions that prevent it from working with network users (e.g. from LDAP, NIS, AD, etc.):

  • assumes user info is in /etc/passwd
  • assumes user's primary group is named after the username

The attached patch changes it to obtain user information from `getent passwd` and to use primary group GID when assigning ownership.

The patch is in format for `git am`, but if you prefer a plain diff let me know.
