Hi, I must connect to another computer with ssh, but this computer does not allow password-less connections (i.e. the administrator has disabled the use of id_dsa.pub, authorized_key etc.) I'm trying to write a script to do the ssh connection automatically, but the script always prompts for the password. Can I construct an input redirect, so that I can feed the password via my script? I tried following: #!/bin/sh ssh myISP <<EOF myPassWord EOF but that doesn't work. I take for granted that my password will be there in clear text! Are there other options? Thanks, Rob. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
