it would be nicer to check this early on as well with a proper error 
message - all of temrproxy, vncshell, spiceshell allow passing in a cmd 
('login', 'upgrade', or 'ceph_install'), and only 'upgrade' is checked 
there for being root at pam only. so if a user calls those with 
'ceph_install', they'd be dropped in a login prompt instead without any 
indication why..
