use ssh for connectiong remote host.

if u are working on solaris 10, u can use the "ssh-keygen" for authenticate the remote host with the two files id_dsa (private key) and id_dsa.pub (public key). in ".ssh" directory in ur home

I do this all the time

list=/home/syndex/serverlist

for server in $list
ssh -q $id@$server "sudo ..."
done

I do this to push out account adds / administration across 120+ servers.
