Hi, Werner.  There is need for authentication subkeys with Monkeysphere
[0].  The point of Monkeysphere is to use OpenPGP and the Web of Trust
as a PKI for ssh.  So it therefore uses OpenPGP authentication subkeys
as ssh keys, affording users the ability to set expiration dates on
them, expire them, more easily rekey them, etc.

jamie.
