Re^3: Syncing Servers using Perl

Remove that passphrase from .ssh/id_rsa. If the passphrase is stored in a script anyway it doesn't provide additional security.

BTW if you want to synchronize files one way, use rsync. If you want it two way, use unison - very cool tool.

This would probably work if systems wasn't clever enough to centralize the .ssh/id_rsa keys. Server1 doesn't even contain id_rsa files in ~home/.ssh directories.	[reply]

I don't understand that - why is it asking for a password for a file that's not present? Anyway, expect can be used to automate interaction with programs that read directly from the terminal (as ssh-askpass does, I think).	[reply]
