Description: 
        Authprogs
        ---------
        
        `authprogs` is an SSH command authenticator. It is invoked on
        an ssh server and decides if the command requested by the
        ssh client should be run or rejected based on logic in the `authprogs`
        configuration file.
        
        Passwordless SSH using ssh identies or pubkeys can enable all
        sorts of wonderful automation, for example running unattended
        batch jobs, slurping down backups, or pushing out code.
        Unfortunately a key, once trusted, is allowed by default to run
        anything on that system, not just the small set of commands you
        actually need. If the key is compromised, you are at risk of a
        security breach. This could be catastrophic, for example if the
        access is to the root account.
        
        Authprogs is run on the SSH server and compares the requested
        command against the `authprogs` configuration file/files. This
        enables `authprogs` to make intelligent decisions based on things
        such as the command itself, the SSH key that was used, the
        client IP, and such.
        
        `authprogs` is enabled by using the `command=` option in the
        `authorized_keys` file.
