The very same does not work for me !!! Here's the output from my session..
admin@WS007594 ~/scripts
$ cat connect_ws
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
spawn /bin/ssh -l username -p 1010 hostname "ls -l"
expect -re "Enter passphrase for RSA key '.*': "
send "shuba\r"
expect eof
admin@WS007594 ~/scripts
$ ./connect_ws
spawn /bin/ssh -l username -p 1010 hostname ls -l
Enter passphrase for RSA key 'admin@WS007594': shuba
<Comments> No output !!

Subject: Re: Calling SSH from Expect - URGENT
I believe this is a problem with the way tty's are handled under cygwin.
I tried this script on a friend's debian box, and it also works as expected.
I think what's going on here is that somehow the ssh's stdin is getting
"disconnected" from the expect terminal (I don't know whether the
problem is expect's or ssh's though). This is evidenced by the fact that
you are seeing the password that expect is typing. Expect is typing
the password into a standard stream, no a password enabled, character
hiding stream such as ssh would be using. I have enclosed the output
from my test session from debian, and you can see that there is no
password.
