Research direction

Start by reading the publickey-auth-script and the surrounding ssh2docker authentication flow. Determine where authorized_keys access is currently handled and whether the proposed option fits the project’s design. Done means the behavior is agreed, authorized_keys authentication works as intended, and the change is covered by appropriate verification.

Description

Should the public key authentification against an authorized_key file done inside the "publickey-auth-script" file?

If yes do you have a hint to do this easily? Of couse I can made a string compare but feels wrong for me. :)

Maybe a option --publickey-auth-authroized_keys and if set the access check is done inside ssh2docker.

I am a bit confused about the freeze label, is the project still alive because? It fit perfect my needs so would make me happy to create a pull request for that.
