Accept connections using SSH keys from a given file.

SSHPublicKeyDatabase takes the username that the prospective client has requested and attempts to get a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file for that username. This requires root access, so it isn't as useful as you'd like.

Instead, this subclass looks for keys in a single file, given as an argument. This file is typically kept in the buildmaster's basedir. The file should have 'ssh-dss ....' lines in it, just like authorized_keys.
