Ssh itself doesn't let you specify a user password on the command line
and check_by_ssh is just a wrapper to ssh so no, not really. That's
assuming I'm understanding your question properly. The best you can
probably do is using ssh's authorized_keys functionality to allow a
particular user from a particular host to log in without a password.
