Investigate the "trusted machine" mode of authorization.  When you are 
managing key pairs are describing public key authorization.  To automate 
entry in that mode, you can use:

# ssh-agent $SHELL
# ssh-add /*then provide password, then run scripts; not so good for  cron 
jobs */

Here's a link to a link on more SSH and automation thoughts.

I have SSH TDG in my library.  If you are interested in trusted machine mode 
I will scan contents and email to you.
