Greets,
I have a client who is trying to run ssh-1.2.26 within a korn shell script under AIX
4.3.2. The user's identity has a passphrase set and the hosts are set to do RSA
authentication. So, he's trying to use a "here-document" as follows:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
ssh target command <<ENDtag
RSApassphrase
ENDtag
exit 0
This is supposed to send the RSApassphrase when it receives something back from the
command (he demonstrated this with a script he wrote for ftp that sends ftp username
and password and ftp commands). However, when running the above shown ssh script, it
freezes at the 'Enter RSApassphrase:' prompt and never sends the passphrase. We are
therefore wondering if this is perhaps something other than stdin. Has anyone had a
similar experience? Can anyone illuminate what might be happening here and how we
might go about fixing it?
Regards,
Todd
