I just ran into a nice person who wants to use SSH for CVS access, and wants
the system to not provide shells for the user or have to manage multiple
accounts. I pointed out they could use a common user with SSH keys, but
they'd like to have the CVS records log the appropriate username for
submitted patches.

Has anyone gone through this? Setting variables with the keys in
authorized_keys hasn't worked for them, and I'd be happy to point them to a
guideline for doing this.
