Does anyone know of a good way to have sshd check an arbitrary textfile
full of usernames to determine whether or not to allow a login
attempt?  I'm running RedHat Linux 5.2.

The `AllowUsers' configuration option which is already part of SSH
doesn't seem to take a textfile as an argument, so that won't work.

I need to selectively allow user access to sshd based on the file
/etc/sshd_users.  For example, if user "foo" is listed in
/etc/sshd_users, he should be able to log into my server through sshd
(after typing in his password and stuff).  However, the ssh login
attept for "bar" would be denied and closed before he had a
chance to authenticate since he wasn't listed in /etc/sshd_users.
