For what's worth.. Telnet sends login and password in clear text. I've not used or suggested using telnet for some time. Instead I'd opt for ssh, you can define a trust that allows connections without passing the password.
This web site has a good tutorial on how to define it.
http://www.cvrti.utah.edu/~dustman/no-more-pw-ssh/
With SSH you can SCP (Secure copy from system to system) or remotely execute commands
such as scripts on the target system:
sudo -u remoteuser ssh
remoteuser@host.domain.tld '/usr/local/bin/shellscript.sh'
Much more robust and best is it is secure.

ssh-keysign
SSH-KEYSIGN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SSH-KEYSIGN(8)
NAME
ssh-keysign -- ssh helper program for host-based authentication
SYNOPSIS
ssh-keysign
DESCRIPTION
ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during host-based authentication with
SSH protocol version 2.
ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting
EnableSSHKeysign to ``yes''.
ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh(1). See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about host-based authen-
tication.
FILES
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled.
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature. They should be owned by root, read-
able only by root, and not accessible to others. Since they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if host-
based authentication is used.
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key-cert.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key-cert.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key-cert.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key-cert.pub
If these files exist they are assumed to contain public certificate information corresponding with the private keys above.
SEE ALSO
ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1), ssh_config(5), sshd(8)
HISTORY
ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2.
