One thing you might consider is having their homedirs be different in the passwd
file, but having their .profile say:
newHOME=/path/to/share/dir
[ -d "$newHOME" ] && { cd "$newHOME"
HOME=$newHOME
export HOME
}
That way you can put properly owned .ssh dirs in their "real" homes and still
have their shells land in the shared area, with $HOME set to suit.
It would be a good first cut.
