ok, then I will create an RFP.

Not yet. The documentation is distribution independent. But I will
include this for the next release as it is really a lot easier than
compiling manually. :)

The latter is only a wrapper to ssh and the main reason against it is
its dependency on public-key authentification. We need passwords for LAM.
