[sork] Fwd: Re: Passwd support for expect/ssh

[Steve Vickroy]

  I was able to remove the DISPLAY environment variable through the
envvars file of apache. I also added the -x parameter to ssh.
However, things are basically the same without the 10.1.  I also
disabled X11 forwarding on sshd.  There is X11 running on 0.0.  I
could try that in envvars.

  In other words it says "cannot open display" instead of "cannot
open display :10.0"

You don't want it calling ssh-askpass.  Check if you set your DISPLAY
and/or SSH_ASKPASS environment variables for the account this is
running
under, and if so remove/unset them.

You might try disabling X11 Forwarding on the ssh command by
specifying
the "-x" switch to ssh.

You will probably need to login manually from the account it is
running
under to setup the proper keys and answer the questions like above.
Once that is done, the script should run fine.

You could also disable strict key checking and so on in SSH, but that
is
much less secure then, so I don't recommend it.
