how to run the script without giving the password.

Hi all,

I need some help in my script...

I need to login into multiple servers from one Unix box and need to login as a superuser account and then I need to perform some actions on the server. For this, i'll use for loop to provide the server names to the script, but for every login as a super user, it is asking user password. so when we are running the script, we are giving the password for every login.
For example, 10 servers are there to login.
To login into the server, it is not asking any passwords, but to login as a super user from the box, it is asking password. So for each box, i am providing the password 10 times.

I dont want to give the password for everytime login, How can I resolve this issue?

can anyone please provide an assistance for the same?

Thanks in advance.

Raghu.

NAME
nwuserlist - List Users logged in at a NetWare server SYNOPSIS
nwuserlist [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -a ] [ -q ] [ -f [ -d ] [ -D ] [ -t ]] DESCRIPTION
nwuserlist lists the users logged in at a NetWare server, together with their connection number and their login time. nwuserlist looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more informa- tion. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons. OPTIONS
-h -h is used to print out a short help text. -S server server is the name of the server you want to use. -U user user is the user name to use for login. -P password password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwuserlist prompts for a password. -n -n should be given if no password is required for the login. -C By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off this conversion by -C. -a With option -a the IPX address of the station the user is logged in from is printed as well. -q With option -q object ID is printed in addition to user name. -f List also files opened by each connection. -d List detailed informations about each file. -D List DOS filename instead of filename which was used for opening. -t Show raw hexadecimal values in addition to human readable conversions.
