Passing password in ssh

[Hiren Joshi]

I don't think you can offer a password on the command line like that
(will push the authorized_keys method =))
 
you can ssh -l user someserver 'ls -l' for eg but you still need to
authenticate.

	Any way to pass a password (on command line) in SSH?
	
	Sure you can use the ssh-keygen and set up public and
	private keys and all that.  Problem is, in batch mode
	something can go wrong.  You might not have the entry
	in the hosts file, or something.  And then your batch program
	will freeze waiting for a password or human response to type 
	"yes".  It would be good to do like ssh -l login -p password
blah blah blah,
	but I can't figure out how.
	
	A second question (acutally alternative).  Any other way to do
this:
	
	     ssh -l login host cmd
	
	That is, execute a command on a remote host, other than ssh?
	Might be an alternative.
