Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sshpass
Description-en: Non-interactive ssh password authentication
SSH's (secure shell) most common authentication mode is called "interactive
keyboard password authentication", so called both because it is typically
done via keyboard, and because openssh takes active measures to make sure
that the password is, indeed, typed interactively by the keyboard. Sometimes,
however, it is necessary to fool ssh into accepting an interactive password
non-interactively. This is where sshpass comes in.
.
SECURITY NOTE: There is a reason openssh insists that passwords be typed
interactively. Passwords are harder to store securely and to pass around
securely between programs. If you have not looked into solving your needs
using SSH's "public key authentication", perhaps in conjunction with the ssh
agent (RTFM ssh-add), please do so before being tempted into using this
package.
