One possibility I can think is to generate a public/private key pair for
the "user1" and copy the public key to 123.234.1.2.
Then install keychain (aptitude install keychain), adding the following
lines to the profile of user1:
keychain ~/.ssh/id_dsa
. ~/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh
Finally, in the mounting script, be sure to add the following line
before mounting itself:
source $HOME/.keychain/${HOSTNAME}-sh
I hope this will help.
Kind regards,
Daniel
