allowing users to update stuff on the server



First off, please excuse the missins subject.

Then, I was thinking of SSH. Is there a way to obtain the fingerprint,
ID, or another bit of information about the RSA/DSA key used to login
to sshd? let's say I have an account dyndns which can modify
a specific zone file. I add the ssh keys from users who are allowed to
interact with dyndns to the authorized_keys file. now if i can get at
the key ID used to login, i have all that i need.

ideas?
