As far as the password goes, you have (at least) two solutions.

Solution 1: Use a private key with an empty passphrase.  This is the easiest 
method but may be the most insecure (unsecure?) in the sense that if somebody 
were to get access to your key, they would have complete access to your 
system.

Solution 2: Use keychain (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/index.xml).  
It's a shell script that 'caches' the password using ssh-agent.  All you need 
to do is type in your password once after a system boot and it will remember 
it forever after... or shutdown, which ever comes first.
