bash shell send script question
Hi Experts,
Need your help.
I am trying to send a command via ssh to about a hundred network devices. I intend to do this via a bash script something similar to the below:
ssh -l user testmachine.com "show version"
Obviously this will not work given the password prompt that comes up prior the command being run.
Please take note that I cannot use RSA keys since that would require my installing my pubkey to each device; this will take forever.
I also can't install sshpass cause I would have to reach out to the server admin; that too will take forever.
Thanks in advance.

ssh-argv0
SSH-ARGV0(1) BSD General Commands Manual SSH-ARGV0(1)
NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling
SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command]
hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name]
[-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command]
