Bug#560148: multiple AuthorizedKeysFiles



regarding the patch to support multiple authorizedkeysfile configuration
choices for sshd [0]:

AuthorizedKeysFile currently is not supported by the Match keyword.  If
this feature of multiple AuthorizedKeysFile entries was supported, it
would be ambiguous for use within a Match block (e.g. would a new
AuthorizedKeysFile within a Match be a replacement for the generic
AuthorizedKeysFile, or would it be in addition to?).

Martin Krafft's proposal for an authorized_keys directory [1] would
permit system configuration of the type Bastian is proposing through the
use of symlinks like this:

 mkdir /etc/ssh/authorized_keys/user17
 ln -s ~user17/.ssh/authorized_keys /etc/ssh/authorized_keys/user17/

and set:
   AuthorizedKeysFile /etc/ssh/authorized_keys/%u

This would allow future inclusion of AuthorizedKeysFile in a Match block
(as an unambiguous override of other settings).
