I personally would advocate the SSH2 trick. p2: your basic requirement of course is that the same script needs to be installed on all of the machines that you plan to connect to - and best if it is in the same place. One trick of course is to have it in a commonly mounted file system.... p3: in http://www.wetware.com/drieux/src/unix/perl/OK.UglyCode.txt look at the dtk_cmd_line function for a way to do the 'system' style invokation of ssh2 - and it expects to find the $progname in the '$ENV{'PATH'}' on the remote machine. This of course provides the 'you have to still validate by hand' level of security. The alternative is to 'embed' the login user and passwd on a machine by machine bases - and that would of course require you to worry about how to get that into and out of encryption so that you don't 'hand out the passwd' in plain text and all.... ciao drieux --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
