hi Chris,
i keep hearing that and it makes me think that it would be good to
learn expect. also perl has a expect module;-)) i have written the program
in perl and i am able to establish a connection but when the call for the
passphrase comes i am unable to pass to the server for authentication as
the ssh tells me that since i am using STDIN it will not assign a tty. so
knowing that i build a tty to communicate with ssh and now can't get the ptty
to actually exec programs .. so my original method using open2() did initiate
a connection but couldn't transmit passphrase as ssh did not spawn a tty
since it detected i was using STDIN only. sort of a chicken and egg story..
b.t.w. i fully intend to release this program GPL as soon as it is complete;-))
other than that is is close to a release stage:-))
