RE: Re: SSH Automation?

Ok, based on a brief glance at the recommended manpages, that will probably solve the problem.
For curiosity's sake (and in case it doesn't), Anyone want to take another potshot at this?

The password is almost certainly being asked of `/dev/tty`, not standard input. This means that you need to use a pseudo-tty to fake out the program. Pseudo-ttys are managed by Expect and IO::Tty. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply]

merlyn already offered a solution, but in this case I can say that it does solve the problem. I have a lot of programs which use this to great effect, saving a lot of headaches. (As a security note, why bother having a password for the account at all?:-)	[reply]
