SSH question

[Steve Buehler]

	I have a client with a RHEL ES 4 box and a client of theirs has a windows 
2003 server box.  We can't get IPSec to work between the two networks.  So 
now we are trying to work out a different way for their RHEL box to access 
their windows box.  The tech on the other side installed openssh for 
windows on the windows server.  He says that you can't use a public key 
with the windows version like you can with the linux version and we will 
always have to enter a password to do the ssh tunnel.  Is there a way to 
run the ssh command so that it can start up when the system starts and 
connect to the remote machine putting in the password automatically when 
asked for it?  I know this isn't as secure, but we are running out of 
options trying to get the two servers to talk to each other.  They have 
java programs on the RHEL box that need to connect securely to MSSql on the 
windows box.

Thanks
Steve
