mlSSH Wrapper

Greetings,

I'm attempting to write an SSH wrapper for a cocoa application. It 
doesn't need to do anything fancy, only get me logged into the remote 
machine. Beyond that, my application will execute commands as the user 
requests them.

I am, however, running into a problem. I have my task set up to go. 
The issue I'm running into is that SSH obviously requires a password 
authentication. Reading though the SSH man page, I can't find a flag 
that lets you specify a password in the initial command. There doesn't 
appear to be any way to make my application wait for the password 
prompt, either.

Is there a flag I just read over to include a password, or does Cocoa 
have a way of waiting for the password prompt? Maybe something I'm 
missing?

Thanks!
-Kevin
