I am looking to setup a central authentication scheme. So that all of the
technical staff can use key based authentication from a central location.

I dont think thats what im trying to do.
We want to use public key based authentication with SSH, However that then
needs to authenticate against the OS. I was wondering if there was any
built in method to do that. It appears as though I will have to patch all
of the OpenSSH daemons to make that work. However that still leaves the
server to support the keys in the structure.
