I bet you just don't have openssh and ssh-keygen installed.
The problem is that GNUtls is insanely dog slow crap at generating
keys, and Sage falls back on gnutls when ssh-keygen isn't available
systemwide.

You would at least have to do
   notebook(address="external ip address"),

Thanks!

Thanks for working on this.  I'll try it once you upload a copy to
sage.math.
