I have the same problem. SSHd is installed in all our machines, but I
want to be able to connect to them in non-interactive mode and without
configuring any key.
This is for a testbed in a lab.

I simply want to use ssh as a mean to launch remote commands on windows
2000 without using netbios (in particular I do not want to use psexec).

What I need is something like rsh, but as sshd is already installed I
would like to use
it. Unfortunately, from what I read, it is not possible to
connect to a remote host using ssh without any authentication and
encryption.

Arnaud.
