in reply to qx//, ssh -t (pseudo-tty) and sudo

What about setting up certificate based authentication for the user you're logging in with?

    the program asking for password is in-fact SUDO,not the ssh.
    For ssh i have keychain installed and configured, so it doesnt ask for password

      Have you tried NOPASSWD in your sudo config? Something like:

      # User specification
      user machine=(otheruser) NOPASSWD: /bin/mv

        hmm that is probably some solution, 'cause if I'm already logged as user X into the machine this means I know the password :")
        Except if someone succed to crack the machine remotely and log as user X. :"), then I'm in trouble...
        then i have to decide which is worse the password to be seen on console or not to ask for password at all...
