Re: [Expectperl-discuss] Expect w/SSH & Sud

[Michael M. <mic...@ya...>]

Roland,
   I never got the keys to work going from a PC to a HP-UX system.   I use keys from my Unix workstation to my Unix servers.  I had started this for other reasons as well.
   
   Also I explicitly stated that storing the password in the script is not a good idea and
  that prompting for it was preferred..  I just haven't gotten to that point as I was stuck
  with just getting it all to work.

  How about just properly configuring ssh (authorized_keys) and sudo
(:NOPASSWD) and directly doing a

"ssh user@remotehost sudo command" ?!

You see, no need for expect here, and especially no need for storing
passwords in the clear inside some scripts...

Regards, Roland
