in thread Passing client information between multiple sockets...

Are you suggestion that he have Expect enter the password to ssh/slogin? Were does Expect store the password? Does it store it encrypted manner? The only thing I can think of would be to use ssh Public Key Authenication and avoid having to enter a password all together thus removing the need for Expect.

    I think Expect will be used for more than just automating the login; it'll also interact with the db shell.

      I don't disagree with you there, but a even a shell script can interact with the db shell. Example ... 
      #/bin/sh

ssh user@db_server sqlplus /nolog <<EOT
connect user passwd
select * from whatever where something = $1;
EOT

      Also how is Expect going to proctect the login password?
