Inside the authorized_keys file you can specify a command to be run when a given key is
used.  You could generate a set of key pairs for each xm console command required.  Or if
a specific user needs access to a specific xm console then you just use the user's public
key with the appropriate command= entry.

Look for AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT in the sshd man page.
