You can probably get the behavior you want by using the RSA login
and ssh-agent. That is, if you use
ssh-keygen
to generate .identity and .identity.pub files locally, then on the remote
machine append the contents of .identity.pub to a file named
~myuser/.ssh/authorized_keys
you will enable RSA logins. Then, in your local ~/.ssh/config file append
the lines:
Host otherguy
User myuser
Finally, in any given shell session, run
ssh-agent bash
to start a bash shell with an agent (any shell will do). Finally, type
ssh-add
as your first command. Logins will now be invisible and automatic, like
rsh, so scripts ought to work. There is an X version of the agent, too, but
I've never gotten it working for me.
Yours,
Brian
