Set up the ssh-keygen to make a passphrase authentication file. It is
called id_dsa, and id_dsa.pub, respectively. Read the manpage how to set
it up right. Then, make sure you leave the passphrase blank so it won't
ask, then type "ssh host command". For example, "ssh myserver
menuprog" will start your menu program.
