There is something like that with active directory login. Perhaps the
same thing could be used here. But this would mean that anyone with a
google account could, for example, ssh into your machine. I don't even
like that this is the case with all the people in my company via active
directory (can't limit it to certain patterns, or even a list of users -
too bad). All google users? Surely someone would find a way to abuse
that!
