&gt; enough. 

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

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

&gt; Thanks.
