Just do:

|slave:start_link('nodename', 'user', "-rsh ssh").

See:

Keep in mind that your ssh configuration needs to be set, so you really should test it outside of Erlang before attempting the login within Erlang.  Tsung does this for client machines if you wanted to see a production example (|||http://tsung.erlang-projects.org/|).
