I had a user who had a bunch of entries in ~/.monkeysphere/authorized_user_ids, and a bunch of raw keys in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. My system's monkeysphere-server handled this situation appropriately, and populated /var/lib/monkeysphere/authorized_keys/user with the full set.

Then i wanted to wipe out all key entries for that user. So i did:

mkdir ~user/backup
mv ~user/.ssh ~user/.monkeysphere ~user/backup
monkeysphere-server update-users user

I expected this to either remove /var/lib/monkeysphere/authorized_keys/user, or truncate it to 0 bytes. However, it just remained untouched, and the old keys persisted.

This seems like a potential security problem.
