[ale] [ot] Xmpp, ejabberd question

[Wolf Halton]

If you have dino user on the recipient.com machine, but don't have a dino
user on the sending.com machine, you can easily ssh (knowing dino's
password on the receiver as you do) with ssh dino at recipient.com and when
asked, putting in dino's password.
You are logged in as moose at sending.com
how do you specify that the user you are doing ssh-keygen is the dino at largeuser?
I can see you would be able to do fine if you did an adduser
dino at sending.com and sudo to that user and ssh-keygen.  Is that the only
way to do this.  The man pages are silent on this issue
