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.
