I agree, ssh is a great time-saver. Of course, I prefer tcsh to bash.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;-)
Also, why use password authentication? You can have better security and more convenience using public/private keys (passphrase-protected, of course) and ssh-agent (only have to type the passphrase once). Even better, use Gentoo's great <a href="http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/" title="gentoo.org">keychain</a gentoo.org>, which is a pretty straight-forward script that runs on most distros.
