Done, but my trac-ticket-fu is nto that great, so please feel free to
fix anything I did.


1. sftp not taking pubkey auth

From
  http://tahoe-lafs.org/~zooko/repos/tahoe/docs/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP.txt

I see

    To use the first form, create a file (probably in
    BASEDIR/private/ftp.accounts) in which each non-comment/non-blank line
    is a
    space-separated line of (USERNAME, PASSWORD/PUBKEY, ROOTCAP), like so:

     % cat BASEDIR/private/ftp.accounts
     # This is a password line, (username, password, rootcap)
     alice password
     URI:DIR2:ioej8xmzrwilg772gzj4fhdg7a:wtiizszzz2rgmczv4wl6bqvbv33ag4kvbr6prz3u6w3geixa6m6a
     bob sekrit
     URI:DIR2:6bdmeitystckbl9yqlw7g56f4e:serp5ioqxnh34mlbmzwvkp3odehsyrr7eytt5f64we3k9hhcrcja

     # and this is a public key line (username, pubkey, rootcap)
     carol ssh-rsa

    [TODO: the PUBKEY form is not yet supported]

2. listening on public interfaces

The bits about not listening on the net is not really a problem with
the sftp implementation as (for me) a hint that using sftp to implement
vfs integration has a minus.  I think this partly comes from a
how-to-do-things different viewpoint; I view a tahoe gateway as
something that should be on every machine, and using sftp to a remote
gateway seems like an odd thing to want to do.
