how to ssh to another box passing a password and do remote commands to the remote ?

[gandolf989]

Where I work we have a handful of Oracle database server running Unix. We have public/private key authentication setup between all of the servers, including my Linux box. So to log on all I need to do is type ssh myhost at a prompt and I am connected without typing a password, I can also use scp to copy files accross nodes and use ssh to run commands on other nodes all without typing a password.
