You  can probably  do it  today, without  any of  the changes  I've been
working on as long as the Unix  permissions on the Fossils are such that
it allows  write access from  multiple individual Unix accounts.  I have
not tested it  this way, but in  theory it should work. I  don't know if
Fossil  will automatically  create new  Fossil users  as you  grant Unix
users permission to  the Fossils, or if  you'll have to add  them as you
go.


In your example above, who is the user that will login to SSH? Obviously
it will be your  shell account that you are using  on your local machine
(unless you have overidden it in ~/.ssh/config). But what if you want to
have just a single SSH account to house all of your Fossils for a team?


To clarify, the changes I've been making will:

1)  make  Fossil less  dependent  on  the  shell environment;  to  avoid
problems as were mentioned in this thread, and others:

2) make it easier for to restrict  access via SSH keys and aggregate all
the Fossils under one account.

3) make it more flexible for SSH environments in general.

Hopefully I can accomplish this. :-)
