Are you really only ever going to do this once?  If so then why go to
the trouble of installing a key?  Going to the trouble of installing a
key implies to me that this will be a repeat visit.

In a situation where a non-standard port is required I don't think
that always needing to type the port number on the command line is
particularly nice either.
