I was referring to my original posting where there is a host used to serve a source code management (SCM) repository such as Mercurial via ssh. The SCM host would also run sshd configured with a login and home directory for each committer. Whenever a new committer is added, a new login account would be created. One option is to use an LDAP server to hold the passwd account data for scaling and backups via NFS. However, I haven't yet found an easy to install LDAP server yet.
