Hi.

I would probably use expect for this. It's not a trivial program to learn, but it seems right for this task. There is a long man page, and also a book from O'Reilly, Exploring Expect, by Don Libes ... cheers, drl

Are you saying that there are common passwords for root and a generic user on over 600 of your servers? And, that you want to embed them in a script?

So, something like:

Code:

while read zf
  do
   rlogin $zf -l root
   echo "logged into $zf as root"
   rlogin $zf -l any_user
   echo "logged into $zf as any_user"
done < list_servers
