Perhaps you should automate ssh logins by using a key that requires no passphrase, in other words so you can just "ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]" and you're in with no interaction required. Then you don't need expect for that. Also, have you tried using the hostname IP address, just to see what happens? -tristram
