check ssh plugin

[guillaume LOHEZ]

check_ssh is not sending login/passwd to test if login is possible or not.
But it's waiting for the banner.....

To test, with login and password, you have to write your own script....
as check_by_ssh is made to use with public key exchange and no
login/password.

Regards
Guillaume
