I am trying to write some scripts that connect to another computer via
ssh. I don't understand how to make ssh login without manually
entering a password.

I have added a file /etc/hosts.equiv to the remote machine. It has
one line which is the IP address of the host machine.

192.168.0.253

This didn't help.

Is there some way to provide the password with ssh invocation?

Or, is there a way to store the passwords in a rc file somewhere?

Or, can I some how tell the remote computer to just trust me?

Thanks...David
