install / add physical servers with enhanced SSH Options (public/private ssh key auth, use other user than root, etc.)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Reason:
Many sshd servers are configured in a way they will not accept root logins over 
SSH, or they only allow authentication with public/private keys.

Description:
For such a case it will be neccessary to have more options in the "Add physical 
Server" Dialog in the Web Panel.

I want to keep this dialog simple. If its possible you can use panel to install 
daemon via ssh. If not you can do it manually by yourself. Or you can temporary 
enable root access. I don't think that adding auth via ssh keys is really 
necessary.

Probably ssh login field can be a good addition. Filled with "root" string by 
default. If one typed other word than root, then need to install daemon using 
sudo. This should cover most of cases.

Yep, i think that would cover the most use cases. Since SSH is looking anyways 
for keys first and uses them even when a user name is provided.
I have tried it exactly as you described. I changed (hardcoded) the user name 
to 'maint' and added a sudo to the command. On the Physical Server i configured 
sudo to not ask for a password in that case.

Could you please add a guide to the wiki how to install the daemon only on a 
physical server?
