Extract remote system profile

I need to get the software and hardware profile of the remote system in my network.

I thought of making a telnet connection and by supplying username and password thro my java class and then execute commands to extract needed information.I need to do it in java.

It should be done automatically thro program.remote system should not prompt for username and password which should be supplied thro program.

Is there any other way i can achieve my task?

Thanks for your suggestions..

I am going to run the program from my local linux system.

Actually the remote systems are of unix type and I don't want to run any daemons in the remote system.I should be able to connect from my local system and extract informations.

And also as you told the rsh option, we have security problem..

The scenario is like this...
I have all remote systems of unix type machine IP's and their username and password.I want to run it in a loop and go thro' all systems and get their information(sw/hw) by executing remote commands or by some other means...

If you could give a sample code which connects to the remote system by providing hostname, username and pwd it would be helpful.

Thanks in advance...:)
