we want to login to the NAS without being prompted for a password by typing ssh NAS or something similar (having an alias as opposed to having an IP address or a hostname)
What happens if we don't do it (aka Why is it important)?
we need to find the NAS manually (by IP or hostname, which would have to be stored somewhere)
we need to find a way to store the passphrase safely and pass it to the shell (safely)
