Re: GRID::Machine with authentication

Hi,

the problem is that i need to ask user and password because many people should use the script and it is not wished due to security reasons that there is a automatic authentication...sucks, but its a rule :[

the final goal is to use a SSH connection to a server, from there a second SSH connection to an other server and from there via telnet to a switch...each hop with authentication Oo

im already working so fucking long on this, and thats the last step :DD

Regards

I still don't see the problem. This is most likely because you haven't described the whole situation. I think a current solution would still be to give everybody their own, passwordless key and make them use their personal key when they launch the script. I don't see why your construct of multiple SSH/telnet hops is necessary, but it can easily be eliminated by launching `netcat` as the remote shell to do the direct ssh tunneling.	[reply] [d/l]
