Becki, Note that setting this to "without-password" is probably
a security violation at Ford, so if you want to keep working

Hi Aaron,
In order to make proper use of this mechanism, the client must add his
public-ssh-key to the authorizedkeys of root, Which only the root user
of the receiving machine can do. What's wrong with that, given that the
the key itself, passphrase for the private-key is long enough and the
key can only be used from a single machine?
Nothing, as long as the box with the ssh key is locked in a steel safe
every night that will prevent any chance of any one popping the install
dvd in and adding /bin/bash as a boot parameter at the grub menu.
