Since passwordless authentication is broken on many cygwin systems I
use, I
end
up using the following expect script (more frequently that I would
like).
Are you sure you cant just fix the passwordless login?
I have cyg on 5 different systems - works like a charm! I use keychain to
manage the keys.
I have probably a dozen servers which have ssh on it. Although I have
passwordless authentication working on many of them, I cannot get it
working
on one of my main servers.
I would love to get this working. In fact, I am setting up SVN over ssh
and
I would really love to get rid of the passwords. But there are some
systems
where I can just not get passwordless authentication over ssh working.
This particular system is in use and I cannot, for example, arbitrarily
reboot it. But short of that, I am willing to provide any troubleshooting
assistence to anyone who thinks they can get to the bottom of this.
Interestingly enough, between my system and this server, I can get it
working
in one direction (from server to my system), but not the other (from my
system to server -- which is the way I really need it). Go figure.
