scp in batch mode

[Brewster, Michael (Strategic Services, Customer Services - Solihull MBC)]

Have recently configured secure shell on solaris 9.
I'd like to be able to transfer files to other servers in batch mode (without password interaction), ie with the -B option.
scp tells me "unable to find an authentication method.
What have I missed?
Any help welcome.
