Hi, I have a FreeBSD 5.2.1 monitoring system up and running. It uses shellscripts with netcat to login to the ciscos get some data out of it, writes results to files etc ... For these mechanism to work I need to be able to telnet to the ciscos. Unluckily I have now a bunch of Ciscos, where only ssh login is possible and where no rsh server functionality is allowed. Is it somehow possible to telnet to the ciscos via a ssh tunnel ? And without the Cisco prompting for a password ? Is there something other available than netcat to make batched data collection scripts to ciscos possible on a ssh basis ??? Any recommendations that could work ? Currently I use something like this for cisco in $* do nc [options] $cisco > /some/path/sh-run/$cisco-confg <<!EOS password ena password sh runn quit !EOS done How can I get this via ssh ??? And best without having to enter a password, so that it can be executed via cron on a regulary basis .... ?!
