The ability to use key authentication for ssh users #5

I don't know if it's such a good idea, but I'm thinking like maybe what users log in using Username@host with either a SSH key file or password

I thought about this, actually, but the tricky part is how the user would get the public key onto the server. There could be a simple menu option to allow users to type or paste in a public key, but I think this would be prone to failure. One method might be private home directories into which the user could transfer the key, and that could then be accepted for future logins. However, there currently aren't any home directories. I'll have to think about this.
