Hi There,

I'm trying to use fabric library to control subprocesson on linux device. I've prepared a piece of code, which intention is to log as a root user. I can't use "sudo" method because that is not existing on the system that i want to control. Also logging directly as "root" is impossible. My idea is to log as a "admin" user and then use "su" command to switch to "root" user.

Code:

|from fabric import Connection from invoke import Responder sudopass = Responder(pattern=r'Password:', response='adminPassword\n') with Connection('192.168.0.106', user="admin", port=22, connect_kwargs={"password": "admin"}) as dss: command = "uname -s" print("Response on {} is: {}".format(command, dss.run(command))) command = "whoami" print("Response on {} is: {}".format(command, dss.run(command))) command = "su" print("Response on {} is after executing su command: {}".format(command, dss.run(command, pty=True, watchers=[sudopass]))) command = "whoami" print("Response on {} is: {}".format(command, dss.run(command))) print("Script end") |

Output:

|Linux Response on uname -s is: Command exited with status 0. === stdout === Linux (no stderr) dssadmin Response on whoami is: Command exited with status 0. === stdout === dssadmin (no stderr) Password: /home/dssadmin # |

As you can see script got stuck after sending "su" command. Any ideas how to solve that?

I'm using:
Python 3.7
Fabric 2.4.0


Thanks in advance
