How can I suppress the password prompt for users logging in to an AIX (6.1) system

I know it sounds counterintuitive, but I'm looking to suppress the password prompt for a select group of users on my IBM server running AIX 6.1. I haven't found anything any SMIT that will allow me to do that, and I haven't figured out how to hack the security files.

... using ssh and public key authentication could be a better solution, don't you think?

Yep, that's kinda what I thought. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a better way. Regarding ssh, you're preachin' to the choir. Unfortunately, this choir sings with but a single voice.

Thanks again.

I was going to assign a 'B', but I didn't think the expert should be penalized for my lack of diligence. I simply ran out of time. However, with what little testing I did, I never succeeded in suppressing the password prompt.
