I've seen some openssh backdoor that rely on private key to authenticate, maybe it could be great to add an option to use a public key instead of password in vlany? It would be more secure as passwords can be bruteforce while keys it's impossible.

I've seen this before too actually, but I'm not sure about with LD_PRELOAD hooking - however, it would be a neat feature. It's not incredibly important though. Only in some kind of weird case would someone be able to even begin bruteforcing the password.
