When using ssh in a bunch of pipes, it will "do the right thing" and ask for authentication
from your terminal.  There is no way to provide username and password as commandline
parameters, though, as they would be visible to anyone else on the system (via top or ps).

What does the script actually do?  Does it remotely execute a program?  Does it copy
files?
