	Why?  The asymmetric cryptography employed by SSH is there
	precisely to /not/ have multiple “secrets” on the side of the
	party being authenticated.

	The authentication systems based on symmetric cryptography (say,
	Kerberos), indeed, require the authenticated party to have a
	distinct shared secret for each of the “authentication realms”
	(say, Kerberos realms) it belongs to
