Re: [Full-disclosure] stealing ssh keys

["Thor (Hammer of God)" <thor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think you're over reacting just a bit.  You can give out your private key to 
whomever/whatever you want to be able to decrypt data encrypted with the public 
key.  It all depends on the use-case, and what you want done.  Just because its 
a private key doesn't mean it's automatically some critical security component. 
  Many times it is, but it doesn't have to be.
