You are looking for public key authentication. Providing passwords in
clear text is a bad idea.

Short HOWTO:
- on CLIENT
  * run ssh-keygen -t dsa, no to enter a pass phrase
  * scp .ssh/id_dsa.pub dbraun@176.94.109.57:client-id_dsa.pub
- on SERVER:
  * mkdir .ssh
  * cat client-id_dsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys

Afterwards, a simple "ssh dbraun@176.94.109.57" should work without
prompting for a password.

Of course, take care to secure .ssh/id_dsa since it holds the private
key neccessary for login.

HTH,

Jamma.
