ssh client password option

[hkb2tw_ at ssl-mail.com]

Hello List,

i need the feature of a password option (like --password) for
scripting/testing purpose.

I know its not secure and i am aware of that, i just need it for
internal testing purpose.

I did have a little look at the ssh source code, to see where i would
hook in my code, but couldn't really find anything useful. I am really
new to C.

Is there a workaround or already an unofficial patch or something like
that out there?

Thanks, Mario
