I'll look at adding this as a feature in a future release,
it should bfairly straightforward. Running dbclient with
a -T option (disabling ttys) and & at the end seems to work
for now (as long as you have a public key). Alternatively,
you should be able to run with -T but without the &, enter
your password, then ctrl-z, "bg".
<more snipping>
Generate a key with
dropbearkey -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/dbkey.rsa
on the machine where you run dbclient, then paste the public
key line to ~root/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server
(10.100.1.101).
Run
dbclient -T -i ~/.ssh/dbkey.rsa -L 20001:localhost:10001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] &
and it should work - let me know if it doesn't.
I had tried the -T before and got "-sh: cannot open not a tty: No such
file". I just tried it and got the same thing. Now that I am doing the
public key correctly (thanks) I am able to do the following and it works:
dbclient -T -i ~/.ssh/dbkey.rsa -L 20001:localhost:10001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] >/dev/null
2>&1 &
Thank you very much for your help and your very quick response.
