The JunOS device should have a username/password configured, as well as
the ability to connect to the VTY(s).
+Make sure to connect to the remote host once from the commmand line as the
+user who is running smokeping. On the first connect ssh will ask to add the
+new host to its known_hosts file. This will not happen automatically so the
+script will fail to login until the ssh key of your juniper box is in the
+known_hosts file.
+
Some JunOS devices have a maximum of 5 VTYs available, so be careful not
to hit a limit with the 'forks' variable.
