Yeah, it explicitely opens /dev/tty and switches to echo off. BTW, I don't understand why you need expect for entering the passphrase. That's exactly the purpose of ssh-agent, ssh-add: $ ssh-agent bash bash-2.05$ ssh-add Enter passphrase ... bash-2.05$ ssh -l username -p 1010 hostname "ls -l" <...do whatever you want to do with ssh without the need to enter the passphrase again...> bash-2.05$ exit Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Developer mailto:cygwin@cygwin.com Red Hat, Inc. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
