ssh timeout

[Steve Belt (rgpg70)]

Hello,

I am wondering if there is any way I can get ssh to timeout (return) if 
nothing is entered when prompted for a password?  I understand there is 
a LoginGraceTime value that can be used in the sshd_config file, but 
that still doesn't make ssh return (exit) when no password is ever 
entered.  The command just hangs until a <return> is pressed.  Is there 
any way to make it return after the LoginGraceTime limit has expired?  

I am using ssh inside a script that cycles over several hosts.  If a 
host does not have an updated authorized_keys file, it prompts for a 
password.  The script then hangs while ssh waits for an answer.  I would 
like ssh to return (exit) eventually so the script can continue.

Thanks,
