AW: How to setup STONITH with SSH (later with WTI NPS-230)

First, I'd recomend you go back a step and try the "stonith" command line tool.

stonith -t ssh -p "othernode" othernode

For this to work, you'll obviously have to set up ssh public key authentication between your nodes; you can check if that works by trying something like 

ssh -q -x -n -l root "othernode" "ls -la"

you should get back a directory listing without being prompted for a password.

When I last played with ssh stonith, I had another problem: ssh reset worked, but the stonith command didn't return - I got that fixed by changing the ssh parameters used by the stonith module and recompiling stonith. if I remember correctly, I just added a "-f" parameter. worked just fine for tests afterwards.

From what I've read on the mailinglist, this should work just fine.
