Subject: [ale] SSH and passwords

If I know the proper password for logging in via ssh, is there anyway to 
"programmatically provide" (like from a script) that to the ssh client? 
Please don't lecture me about security and keys.  I understand it well 
enough. 

 I'm looking at implementing a tool to help set up keys between a set of 
machines with out them having to retype passwords too many times, so the 
passwords would not be stored.  As near as I can tell, it takes two "ssh 
invocations" to provide a key to a remote system, and a third to test it.  
Couple that, with the dozens of systems with the same passwords, and it would 
be quite helpful.

Near as I can tell, you can redirect stdin, and I can see no way to pass it as 
an argument or such.

Thanks.
David
