    Add "via" to age-old text.dat string: NodeLoggedOnAtNbps

    <Keyop> "Node 1: Keyop logged on SSH"
    <Keyop> A notification to another user... should that not be like it is in umonitor? "Keyop logged on via SSH"?
    <Keyop> Missing the "via" ?

    Refer to the user's host name as "host name", not "computer" or "client"

    I know the command key is 'C' to edit it, but that's not a good reason.
