Seems not symmetrical to me. The command I sent was because - as I said in the original thread - passing any password directly to the command line is Very Bad[tm]. If you're passing it via exec(), though, and don't want to use an 'expect' shell, passing it directly to -p is at least a bit less dangerous. Plus, doing so will not leave anything in your ~/.bash_history on the server. That said, sorry for appearing inattentive, despite this being directed right at me. I have been out of the office more than in for the last couple of weeks, while working on a ton of new stuff. Eventually it will go back to "normal." -- </Daniel P.
