You might want to look into adding a passphrased SSH key on your
volunteer machine, and use Keychain[1] (in portage) or plain old
ssh-agent with a passphrased SSH key so you aren't prompted for the
password.  (This is also a technique used with various other projects;
such as OpenMosix monitor tools and Transcode.)
