I have X11 installed and working. I can ssh to my linux box and run X11 programs. That's great. I really want to be able to create a script that runs ssh and launches the app, so I can add it to the X11 menu. I can't figure any way to pass in the password to ssh.

I've tried using identity files (ssh-keygen -t dsa). I've done this on both machines and copied the id_dsa.pub files to the opposite machines. I can't get the identity files working.

I'm currently compiling expect in fink, so maybe that will help.

The remote machine needs the public key to be in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. The .ssh directory must not be world or group writable.

It started working. It seems like it didn't work until I tried it in a new terminal window.
