remote mode and authentication

Hi,

Is there a way to disable the prompt for userid and password when using smpatch in remote mode? Based on what I read, it seems that it is not possible unless one uses -l and -p options of smpatch.

Reason: I would like to create a cronjob that will do a remote smpatch update in several SunUC client from a central SunUC proxy server on a monthly basis.

Prompting for userid and password defeats the purpose of having the updates done automatically without human intervention.
