expect script pushing ssh keys w/ tar extract
ok, I'm new to the forum and I did a few searches and didn't find much on this so here goes.
I have a ksh I use to call an expect script that opens a ssh session and then extracts a tar file. The tar file has my prefered .profile and my ssh keys. I want to run this script 1 time on new servers and then have passwordless ssh setup.
from the command line on the source host this command does do the usual prompting for pw but once done the ssh keys are in place and future ssh connections are key based and passwordless....
ssh -q targethost 'tar xf -' </path/to/sshcfg.tar
the tar resides on the source server
but with the similar line is a expect script the tar is not found (likely looking on the target
spawn ssh -q targethost 'tar xf -' </path/to/sshcfg.tar
anyone have any thoughts ?

I would like an expect script that not only transfers over the trusted keys to remote hosts that I've never logged into before via ssh, but it also cats the trusted key into the ~/.ssh/authorized_ksys2 file.

ssh-keysign
ssh-keysign(1M) ssh-keysign(1M)
NAME
ssh-keysign - ssh helper program for host-based authentication
SYNOPSIS
ssh-keysign
ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during host-based authentication
with SSH protocol version 2. This signature is of data that includes, among other items, the name of the client host and the name of the
client user.
ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can be enabled only in the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting Host-
basedAuthentication to yes.
ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh. See ssh(1) and sshd(1M) for more information about host-based authen-
tication.
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled.
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature. They should be owned by root, readable
only by root, and not accessible to others. Because they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if host-based
authentication is used.
ssh-keysign will not sign host-based authentication data under the following conditions:
o If the HostbasedAuthentication client configuration parameter is not set to yes in /etc/ssh/ssh_config. This setting cannot be overri-
den in users' ~/.ssh/ssh_config files.
o If the client hostname and username in /etc/ssh/ssh_config do not match the canonical hostname of the client where ssh-keysign is
invoked and the name of the user invoking ssh-keysign.
In spite of ssh-keysign's restrictions on the contents of the host-based authentication data, there remains the ability of users to use it
as an avenue for obtaining the client's private host keys. For this reason host-based authentication is turned off by default.
