Have you tried using public key authentication for SSH or, even better, Kerberos IV? If my memory serves me well, there is a HOWTO at Red Hat describing how to use ssh-keygen to create a private/public key pair and how to add the public key to the remote server by placing it inside .ssh/authorized_keys. Alternatively, man sshd contains interesting information.
