That's exactly what I'm doing. Copying up my public key so that later in the script (which I didn't show, no need to I think) is to cat the public key into place and make sure there are proper permissions etc on the .ssh directory on the remote machine. But Eero and other are right.. I'll be much better off using expect to get this type of work done. It's jut that I'm more familiar with bash so I thought that there might be a good way to do it with that also.
