So my understanding of your question is that you want to have passwordless ssh command only work if its invoked by a particular script?

Really, the only reasonable way I can think to do that is:
1) push the passwordless ability to some other user
2) have that script be invoked via a sudo to that user and only that script.

That would get you to the point where you would do something like:

Code:
sudo -iu newUser /path/to/script.ksh

Ultimately, it's about removing the shared account's ability to directly use the public/private key associated with the remote login. Whether that involves pushing the passwordless functionality to a different user and just control who can run the script as the newer user (as described above) or leaving it in place and having people use a different shared account, that's what needs to happen.
