Choosing best location for authorized_keys!

Hello Friends,

I am trying to troubleshoot one scenario for the customer. In their server configuration, each vhost has it's own user. The option is to shell access chrooted.
The question is where would be the best place to store the authorized_keys file so that we can ssh in from the deployment server (SVN) without requiring user interaction?

The solution is needed for the deployment strategies from internally hosted SVN server to some of the websites.

I will appreciate the help in this matter.

Respectfully,

rush

RUSH(8) 							      Gnurush								   RUSH(8)

NAME

       rush - a restricted user shell

SYNOPSIS

       rush [-F STRING] [-f DIR] [-n NUM] [--forward] [-H]

       rush {-v | -h | --usage}

DESCRIPTION

       GNU  rush is a restricted user shell (R-U-SH), designed for sites that provide only limited remote access to their resources. This could be
       Subversion or Git repositories, upload sites accessible only by Scp, or similar services.

       Using a sophisticated configuration file, GNU rush gives the administrator complete control over the command lines that users are  able	to
       execute,  as  well  as over the access to and usage of system resources. Usually virtual memory, CPU time, etcetera, are determined by this
       system wide configuration.

OPTIONS

       -c COMMAND
	      Specify a command to run.

       -C TEST | --security-check=TEST
	      Configure security checks for the main configuration file.

       -d NUM | --debug=NUM
	      Set debugging level.

       --show-default
	      Disply the built-in default configuration.

       -t | --test | --lint [FILE]
	      Run in test mode. The optional argument FILE determines the location of an alternate configuration file to be used.   In	case  also
	      the option '-c' is specified, then rush will emulate normal processing for the given command, but will not actually execute it.

       -u NAME | --user=NAME
	      Emulate  shell  access  by  the  user  NAME.  The option '--test' is implied. The use of this option is allowed only for root and in
	      conjunction with the further option '-c'.

       -v | --version
	      Display program version.

       -h | --help
	      Display a short help message.

       --usage
	      Display a concise usage summary.

SEE ALSO

       The full documentation for GNU Rush is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the info and rush programs are properly installed at  your  site,
       the command

	      info rush

       should give you access to the complete manual.
