I have vast amounts of spaghetti code where temporary fixes have been applied or 'I wrote this just to do one thing' then it grows, gets re-used and we also get a myriad of other tiny bits of code strung together with string.

Whatever the job, do it properly first time. It's good training in any case.


I've also corrected lots of spelling errors in your last post because these threads are not temporary but should prove a useful mine for others in the future.

I agree Mr rbattle, things are temporary in this world. But dnt you think there are many people who are going to be benefited with this temporary solution too.
There are 1000's of post which have the same solution of using ssh key authentication. I am not unaware of ssh keys. i have used ssh key for tasks before. SSH key authentication can be found as a solution in many posts. So i asked for a different one that will give another solution to the people who want something other than ssh.
And yes i dont have a perfect english, but i guess my posts are clear. Thanks for correcting it in my previous posts.SmilieSmilie

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.
