Howdy Folks,

I am attempting to do something that was discussed here a while back. Unfortunately the solution that was given at that time does not work in my case, the ssh keys can NOT be set to automatically allow a connect.

I need to use expect to control a script that uses expect to do some tasks over ssh. If automated login is not supported, the script that I call pops up a password prompt (straight out of ssh). When my script calls the first script, the error "Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal" is all I get back -- no password prompt. I understand that I don't have a TTY and that I must use IO:Tty to perform the relevant magic (this was the suggestion of Merlyn in that thread).

I have been RTFMing all afternoon and have come to roadblock. I just don't understand the syntax of how to use $object->manual_stty, $object->manual_stty. If someone, whose Kung Fu is greater than mine, could point me to some source (I really have been searching all over) or a snippet that might explain how to use this functionality I would really appreciate it.

Many Thanks!
e.
