I want to enter an ssh session without having to type the password (to be

You probably can't provide a "typed password" from anything
other than the keyboard itself.
I solved it using "expect" - see other mails.
Ah! It is your mail arriving three days late, as usual. You should get a
gmail account :-p
For security reasons, ssh and similar programs are
generally written to read only from /dev/tty.
Fortunately, "expect" can do the trick.
Is it possible to create a file called "rhosts"
or "hosts.equiv" on the router?
Nothing at all, no files; or I would create a key pair.
If any one is worried about security, don't: for instance, if you use
subversion with ssh access (to Novell, for instance) the password is
stored in clear text in ~/.subversion/auth, and the file is world
readable! (Was, rather, I changed it). So subversion must be giving the
password somehow.
You've gotta be kidding.
Someone needs to hit the subversion devs with a clue-bat.
It is a documented feature of subversion. And they also document how to
dissable it, on the client. They should be able to dissable it on the
server side! I mean, the server side telling the clients not to store the
password.
However, it is very convenient.
