Here is the complete script for anyone in the future. There was some odd
stuff that this did until I got it worked out. This is for a brand new
install of cygwin on a box that has never been used before. I am sure
someone can possibly edit this so that it can select from a different number
of expect statements in case a user has installed cygwin before and is now
doing a reinstall.
#!/bin/expect -f
# required on Win2k3
exec chmod +r /etc/passwd
exec chmod +r /etc/group
exec chmod +x /var
spawn ssh-host-config
# Host keys generation is lengthy procedure
set timeout 20
expect {
"Should privilege separation be used? (yes/no)" { send "yes\r" }
}
set timeout 5
expect {
"Note that creating a new user requires that the current account have" {
send "yes\r";
exp_continue }
"Do you want to install sshd as a service?" { send "yes\r";
exp_continue }
"Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon:" { send " \r"; }
}
set timeout 5
expect {
"Do you want to use a different name? (yes/no)" { send "no\r";
exp_continue }
"Create new privileged user account" { send "yes\r";
exp_continue }
"Please enter" { send "pwd\r";
exp_continue }
"Reenter:" {send "pwd\r";
exp_continue }
}
