I'm already working on a patch :) , but if I try to follow the
description i found here :
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8
Wild cards, revoked keys ... I think it will take years before seeing it. :)
From what I see, it would require a complete overhaul of the
libssh2_knownhost_readline function... And i dislike having to rewrite a
big portion of code just to make a patch.
Anyway, I hope I could provide a patch soon.
