issue with pexpect
Hello,
For about week i am experiencing a problem with pexpect that's why i
hope you can help me :).
Following is my code which tries to remove some files from the root dir
and the code works on linux debian and freebsd but with no success on
linux fedora .. any idea why this happen only in fedora ?
#!/usr/bin/env python
from __future__ import print_function
import sys
import pexpect
import time
spa=pexpect.spawn('su root')
spa.expect('.*')
print(spa.after)
spa.sendline('abc')
spa.expect('.*')
print(spa.after)
spa.sendline('rm -rf /root/py/pe*')
spa.expect('.*')
print(spa.after)
spa.close()
this is the output in Fedora linux it looks that the script can't
authenticate as root
python]$ ./sk64.py
Password:
rm -rf /root/py/pe*
i appreciate any help thanks in advance

Re: issue with pexpect
there is no such implementation in fedora you can su as a root .. i can
su from regular user to root with no problems
the problem come when i use the pexpect module

Hi!
The problem may be that root user is disabled. This was introduced in
Ubuntu long ago and I believe that later this was also accepted in
Fedora. That means that you simply can not su to root, no matter
what password you supply. This is the way how your OS operates and is
not connected in any way to python or pexpect. Therefore, either use
sudo (generally recommended) or enable root user (insecure!).
Hope it helps,

Re: issue with pexpect
Okey i figure it out how to do the job in fedora
i added slight delay before sending each command
either by the delaybeforesend attribute or by the time module
;)
cheers
