You could set up an ssh-key that doesn't require a password (either
because you also set up an ssh-agent to manage the key, or because you
set the ssh-key to be without a password.)

You might look at something like:

Ok, tnx. But this is not really an option for us, for security reasons, even though we only use bzr internally or over vpn. Hopefully there is another way to solve this.

Can we understand more about that? Having an ssh key with no
passphrase is no worse than putting the password in your script, and
in some ways better.

hm, as I understand it, the "user" bzr that can check out code, can be used from anyone's account. As it is now we can all update the code at the checkout place since only the user that created the checkout can update it.(easily)

The password in a script is only viewable by the server admin since its there the script runs from. That should be safe, or else nothing is safe.

Lets say someone plugs in a comp on our network and runs checkout as bzr user, he gets the ssh key automatically. just clone a mac address, connect a pc and checkout.

Just a thought of why i want to have a password on the user. but maybe i've missed something in the setup to make our work smoother, but this is the first time we've used baazar.

No, he won't. Create an ssh key specifically for this purpose, and make it viewable only by the people who can view or run the script.
