I recall seeing your post that you were not able to use sshexec even after your 
admin removed the requirement for a password when running sudo for the command 
you were trying to run. I have had success with this. I am able to use sshexec 
when sudo is configured to not require a password for the command I need to 
run. If you are still prompted for a password, then sudo is not configured as 
you want it. This is not a shortcoming of sshexec. It was designed to be 
noninteractive. What would be the point of requiring a password, only to hard 
code it into your build file, or elsewhere. There is no security in that method.
