[kwlug disc.] bash script basics

[Unsolicited]

My bash scripting isn't up to snuff, but your note leaves me a little 
confused. Are you setting up local userid/passwords for 'passwordless 
login' or are you setting up your machine to connect to one of these 
machines without passwords? [The latter would say you already have ssh 
running there, etc.]

Assuming you already have a connectivity mechanism to these other 
machines, probably as root, can you not either (a) append your userid 
line from your passwd file to the remote's, or (b) deposit your 
certificate to the right spot on the remote machines?

Regardless, this should be scriptable, although off the top of my 
head, not by me.
