Uuuhuuhh. You can even have two different ACLs for 'userPassword' and 'sshPublicKey' to solely make 'sshPublicKey' invisible. ;-) You can then let your SSH key sync script remove the key from the system's authorized keys directory.

Yes, that's why mucking with 'loginShell' is not appropriate.

Read slapdaccess(5) before you claim that there's no clean way. Ciao, Michael.
