Thanks.
I tried setting up ssh-keygen, but if I'm correct, I would need every client
machine to generate a key, send the public key to the server, and then add it
to the authorized_keys file. It doesn't make sense to do this that way.
Yes, my main issue is that there are many computers connecting to one server.
Puppet is way above my pay scale and I decided to give up learning it.
The files in question are generated on the server and cannot be generated on
each machine. I need a way to distribute them and they are keyed to each
machines serial number.
They are security keys for talking to a third server.

Is there a way to log into a server without using passwords coded into the
script?
I'm trying to retrieve files from a server for every computer I have based on
the serial number of the machine.
This is what I have so far. (I'm very new to bash. Any advice would be helpful)
