Hi managers,

Sorry for the late summary. I have received many responses, too many to
list here. All of them are very helpful and valuable addition to my
admin knowledge. Thanks for all of you replied!

Many suggest me to use scp and go with the ssh features, authentication
key feature (PermitRootLogin=Yes.) I tried to avoid typing password for
each box, ended up temporarily enabling remote logging in without
password and execute the script.

Some mentioned expect script, use component Tcl etc, which I wish I had
more time to explorer.  

Other solutions/resources I've received are:

rsync + ssh, search through the web.
distributed shell, http://dsh.sourceforge.net
How to send passwords through expect:

"cfegine"
"masshosts"

Thanks! All of you!
