how to run psql without password prompt when using auth MD5/Password

Hi,
Is there a way to run psql -U user -d dbname -c "select....."
without the psql asking for a password prompt from the user?
when setting the pg_hba.conf file to use md5 or password.
(btw, i've tried using ident, but couldn't make it work with jboss).
thanks!

of course trust is a way :)

but i need a more secure way, as my company requires.. like md5.
only i want to be able to enter the password in the command line and not be
promoted (so a script can do it).
