Put an authorized_keys in $HOME/.ssh for that user. Make sure that
.ssh and authorized_keys are readable by that user. They should
probably be owned by root, so set them to a group the user belongs
to and make both .ssh and authorized_keys group-readable (550 and 440).

Note that SSH happens before scponlyc is executed. So you can test this
with a normal shell. Once it runs, put scponlyc in.

HTH,
