I don't think you can generate a per user key on the router. That is what 
is needed by check_by_ssh to work.

If you want to do ssh in scripts try using the "clogin" utility that is 
part of the "RANCID" toolset at http://www.shrunbbery.net/rancid/

I've used clogin in various scripts for good effect.
