The motivation here is to add the flexibility to add some extra SSH options to the SSH/SCP command.
Deeper motivation: I like to add "-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null" to the SSH and SCP command while running autoserv. But not sure if every one here will like it. When autoserv is running against a new client, ssh will always prompt you to accept the host key fingerprint, kind of annoy. Even worse, if the same client got reimaged, its host key will be changed, then SSH will refused the connection since it does not match what it remembered in the local known_host file. The two above options should help me get this through.
