    I have about 500 servers, a mixture of Sun/Solaris and Red Hat that I
    need to collect user information off of. Telnet, FTP and rsh are all
    turned off, so I have to use ssh and scp to collect this information.

    I want to write a shell script that will hit each server and copy off
    the information. None of the servers had been setup with keys, so I
    have to provide a password for authentication. I've thought of using
    Expect, but I am not familiar with it or with TCL, and don't really
    have time to get up to speed. I would much rather write a shell script
    to do the job. I think that "Batchmode" will do the job for me, but I
    still have to provide a password for authentication.

    How can I setup SSH/SCP to pass a password when authenticating in
    Batchmode?

    Thank you.
