That's great for SSH, I already do that, but if I ssh to a system and 
then type sudo it prompts me for a password.  I want something like this

ssh_and_sudo_on_all_hosts
this script prompts for passwords and provides passwords to all ssh or 
sudo sessions

ssh => some_host
uses keys/certificates whatever so no password

sudo do_some_command (prompts for password)
password entered at start of ssh_and_sudo_on_all_hosts is passed to sudo 
and sudo runs.
