Keep it on a floppy-disk, and keep that in plastic case in your pocket. It works for me. Then it will be just as secure as your wallet. Now how secure that really is, depends on the individual. Still it is preferable to keeping it on the pc itself. As for Expect, it *WILL NOT* work. This is because Cygnus designed TCL/TK/ITCL/TIX/EXPECT to be mingw like, so that people can use Insight [GUI GDB] without having to fire up an X-windows session. Someday we will have the TCL suite working under both X and native Windows, but that will involve a lot of work. For now, lets just leave it at that. If you *really* want to script, then you should look into some python gui X utilities to do that for you. Cheers, Nicholas __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Expect Script under X-Windows
So you're writing a script that very likely will contain a password in cleartext?

Re: Expect Script under X-Windows
The normal method of logon using ssh requires the the user input a password. Because of security issues, this cannot be circumvented by any other method. All I wanted to do was to poll around fifty servers for information. Each has the same logon name and password. Now, I need to manually send the password for each and every server.

Re: Expect Script under X-Windows
Are you sure you want to do it that way? ssh can be configured to connect without prompting for a password.
