I've done a fair bit of searching on the net (6+hours of googling), but can't find a solution, or a complete "No, there's no way to work around that" to this problem:
I have to log into a large number of systems, and on some sets (such as "all devboxes") I like to keep my password the same, for convenience. (and to keep my memory sane; I really need to keep this list from going "hundreds") Ssh is my tool of preference, though I could use <shudder> telnet. Unfortunately, the Higher Powers have declared private key authentication illegal so far (I'm working on them), so I am left with typing this stuff by hand. All of that, I can more or less deal with, until *Password*Day*. Remember "hundreds"? Obviously, I don't log into all of these boxes during a given month, but I really have to be able to get to them when the time comes. Enter "expect", which ships with a little script for changing your password (even on multiple systems en-mass). Nice. Except... it doesn't seem to work with ssh... Near as I can tell from my googling, a problem of openssh reading the tty directly, rather than allocating a tty. True? False? What about other things?; messing with the CYGWIN variable, adding "tty" in there was not helpful, nor was adding "-t" to ssh. Any other ideas? I don't want to use telnet... "console telnet" is nice, and will get the job done, but it's not a secure answer. -greenup -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
