   - copy iceaccessd to /usr/local/bin/iceaccessd on the icecast server(s)
   - chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/iceaccessd on the icecast server(s)
   - set the parameters in icelog.conf and copy it to /etc/icelog.conf
+  - setup SSH keys:
+    - On the central machine, generate an authentication key using ssh-keygen.
+      Since this is for unattended operation, use a blank passphrase. 
+    - Append the newly-created identity.pub file to ~root/.ssh/authorized_keys
+      on the remote machine(s). 
+    - Some new SSH v2 implementation accept v2 style keys only. Use the -t
+      option to ssh-keygen, and append the created id_dsa.pub or id_rsa.pub to
+      ~root/.ssh/authorized_keys2 on the remote machine(s). 
+    - You may need to set PermitRootLogin without-password (meaning with keys
+      only) in your sshd_config file on the remote machine(s).
   - on the central database machine, run:
        iceaccess_server icecast.machine /path/to/icecast/access.log 0
