Perhaps what you meant is the possibility of setting up a trust relationship with a remote box, and run an automated/cron job without prompting you for a password. If that is what you need, that is doable by 'scp' the content of your generated pub.key to the authorized-keys of the remote box. Bingo! You will never be bothered with the "troubles" of uid/passwd: I agree with you, it's a PITA to go thru all that:-) Thanks, Yinka.
