Hi *, My question was: <question> Hi *, My problem is the following: I need to open SSH sessions to remote hosts from scripts. But I'm not allowed to install a key on the remote hosts. I must use a standard password authentication. I found a Perl module (Net::SSH::Perl) which can perform this. Unfortunately, it requires the Math::Pari module (which does not compile properly on here) Question: how could you automate SSH session from scripts 5shell or perl) with respect of performances and, of course, security? </question> Lot of mails (as usual ;-) and the best solution is to use Expect (http://expect.nist.gov/). In my case, I installed the Perl module (http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Expect/). Everything can be done via simple perl script. The next step is the script security! It must have access to the remote account passwords. Lot of you noticed that a better method should be to work with keys but, is this specific case, I can't :( Regards, Xavier -- UNIX is user friendly.
