Nice to finally see a proper Rust SSH server (in the making, I guess). Personally, I've switched to Dropbear years ago because of how bloated (and vulnerable) OpenSSH was (Dropbear is only a couple of hundred KB static binary), but Dropbear is ultimately also written in C, so a Rust-based replacement would be welcome.

This looks cool.

Any idea if SPIFFE/SPIRE-style authentication is something you would be willing to support for CI/CD workloads?

Or is this primarily targeted to be a safe replacement for the average Joe when they wish to login via ssh into a system?

Interesting to see Windows support on the roadmap. I’ve been spending a lot of time on the Windows side of Kubernetes networking/security recently, although mostly down at WFP/kernel level rather than process/terminal APIs. Curious which of the Windows gaps has turned out to be the hardest so far.
