hi, rhosts is not a good idea because of a security risk. try private/public key authentication, this works fine for scripts.... but be carefull openssh and ssh2 have different keys! if the server has a different version, then you have to convert the keys with ssh-keygen.

August 2002 16:14 To: 'questions@freebsd.org' Subject: Question about ssh setup... Hi! I have a problem -- I have a user who wants to be able to connect to my server via a script, get a directory listing, then use scp to copy some files off. The problem is that ssh (which is the only way to connect) doesn't allow you to pass the password to it as a parameter (which is a good thing, I guess). As this script runs around midnight, this presents a problem. I've tried to set up ssh to use the RHostsRSAEncryption, with a .shosts file, but it still prompts for a password when he tries to login. The machine he is connecting from is in the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file, and I set up the .shosts file with the machine that he will be connecting from and his user name. Is there anything else that I need to set up for this to work?
