	You can always send the info via standard in, ala:
echo "username\npasswd\ncommands...." | console machine

I don't really recommend this but...

at the end of your conserver.cf there shoudl be:
%%
#
# list of clients we allow
# {trusted|allowed|rejected} : machines
#

	Just name the machine you are coming from as trusted and it won't require passwords for any user connecting from that host. So...

trusted: localhost console

Then conserver no long asks for passwords from users connecting from localhost or the machine named console
Of course you will still need to give a username and password to the login prompt on the machine whose console you are connecting to....
