Ok. thanks for pointing me to the manual. so let me summarize:

1. One ssh-account is needed.
2. via public keys i can identify different users. one keypair is needed
for each user and the public key has to be in the authorized_key file of
the ssh-account
3. i can disable all different task models via authorized_key file but
let the ssh user as it is (for svn unrelated jobs)
4. fine-granulared access-restriction is possible via authz-db

So, this is still a bunch of work, but seems doable

thanks so far

ciao
Ulf
