So I'd like to suggest you should have a look at the MoSSHe tool
http://www.wyae.de/software/mosshe/
It does monitoring via SSH (key auth) while *NOT* allowing execution of
arbitrary commands.
The whole system is just consisting of shell scripts and one simple
central config file plus simple agents on the servers for in-depth
monitoring (load, memory, ...). So it's fast to implement and light on
system ressources. Plus you won't need additional IPSec or whatever
config on your systems...
