For non-interactive installation it's quite handy to be able to nix copy additional dependencies to the system. While this is possible for the root user, we cannot easily ssh into it, as we don't allow root login with a password. By making nixos a trusted user, we can do "passwd && sudo systemctl start sshd" and than run nixos-anywhere
