If you use RSA authentication, and leave the passphrase blank, it won't ask
you. You'll need to put the corresponding public key on host.com in your
~/.ssh/authorized_keys (sp?)

Works for me...

Alternatively, you could open a little window, and then somehow make it
disappear after you type in the passphrase. Check the -f option. The man page
has an example there, which might even be exactly what you are trying to do!
