kb84: Monitoring Unix with Rexec

By default Longitude uses SSH when monitoring computers with the Unix application, however if SSH is unavailable, Longitude will use rexec instead.

When the Unix application is being added to a machine, Heroix Longitude first tries to authenticate using SSH-1 or SSH-2, using public key based authentication if configured. If the ssh connection fails, Longitude will use the same username and password to execute commands via rexec.
