does running ltsp-update-sshkeys fix the problem without requiring the
patch? it should also automatically run everytime a network interface
comes up. is it on a server other than the NFS server?

this also would be sort of fixed by having a more proper ssh-askpass
implementation for ldm-askpass. at the expense of asking questions that
many users might not understand...

i do think we should be able to configure ssh_opts, so if people want to
add things like "-o StrictHostKeyChecking no" it would be possible
without hacking ldm.
