Logon to multiple hosts using ssh hardcode password

Hi im trying to write a script to logon to list of servers with same userID. I have no option/plan to implement ssh-keygen sharing between the systems, so i have written script creating 2 files,

file1 holds list of hosts
Code:
host1
host2
host3

file2 has following script
Code:
for i in `cat file1`
do
  ssh user@$i command1>>comd.out
done

so each time i run the script it ask me for password, so if i have 100 hosts on list i have to enter password 100 times for each host.

so i just want to know if there a way to hardcode password for user in the same script, perl script, shell script or bash, csh any script that will support this?

btw i do not have "expect utility" as well. i know it would be good to have it.

any help is much appreciated.

DreamAix

You need to establish trusted connection between hots.
Google for 'SSH password less connection"
