Nitin Hi Nitin, if you want to avoid the password, you can to use key based authentication instead of password based (only good way to do ssh in a script). You can set a pass-phrase for the key, or for scripts you can run without a pass-phrase. This can still be made secure. I have a couple docs on this at under the "Documents" link at linux1.ca (http://nesbitt.yi.org/howto.shtml) Look at "SSH/SCP via Key Authentication HOWTO" and maybe "Limiting SSH Access" Hope that helps. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
