Hi everybody,

I got a question... I want to make trought command lines an ssh to a remote host.. for example: ssh root@nemo,

As you know, the command output will retry the password frase to the prompt.. but i want to do it redirecting the input... I tried this...

#!/bin/sh

ssh root@nemo << EOF
passfrase


but it doesn't work... how could i do it??? I know there is other way to do that but i don't want to activate a public password..

So there's someone who knows how to do it this way??? Redirecting the input for ssh??

Couple of thoughts.. Are you making a brute force script? Also, allowing root to login remote via SSH is a security risk.

Use the "-i credentials-file" option when calling ssh, or use the authorized-keys-file.
See the ssh manpage for details. I don't know what you want to do, but I would recommend reading the manpages for ssh_config, sshd_config and ssh. If only a handfull of users are allowed to login to ssh, then consider the "Allow Users" option. All other users will be denied. This is easier than using "DenyUsers" to deny system users access. Root and system users well known, and someone trying to break in will most certainly try each one. If you need automated access, look into rsync. And/or consider "AllowRootLogin forced-commands-only".

Here is a link for RSYNC & SSH with automated login:

Hi...

thanks for the suggestions.. and some answers...

1).. no, it is not a brute force script but it could be used for that...But in my case i just want to automate a process in a very simple script...
2).. the root@nemo it is just an example.. but thanks for the security thing...

That's interesting using credential files... but i know i saw in some script, which i don't remember, a way to make conections with ssh just using ssh and some redirection for stdin... but i really really don't remember how to do that... it didn't use any credentials or autorized-keys which I know that's a better way and more secure... but by now i just want to make that redirection of stdin..

how could i do that???

Thanks for everything..

Regards...
