    won't that be just as complex? Plus my server needs a keyfile in order to ssh in.
      No, it won't be just as complex. Keyfile creation is dead simple anyway, just use the ssh-keygen command to generate a key and copy it to the remote host's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file. Obviously running this as root is ill advised. If it's necessary for root to implement the file on the remote, you can do something like run a pickup script from cron on the remote that checks for a new file periodically.
