The normal method of logon using ssh requires the the user input a
password. Because of security issues, this cannot be circumvented by any
other method. All I wanted to do was to poll around fifty servers for
information. Each has the same logon name and password. Now, I need to
manually send the password for each and every server.

Could you clarify? Which password do you mean exactly? The passphrase
for your ssh keyring? If you script that, you might as well have no
passphrase at all.
