Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to automatically enter password in a script? Post 302940606 by rbatte1 on Tuesday 7th of April 2015 12:55:04 PM

Assuming that you are not using ssh at all, can I presume that rlogin would be allowed? You can grant (for a given user) the source addresses that can rlogin to it without further credentials being required.


Does that offer an option? I would try to avoid expect if possible because of the risks and complexities that it introduces.

NAME
pam_rhosts_auth - authentication management PAM module using ruserok() SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so.1 DESCRIPTION
The rhosts PAM module, /usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so.1, authenticates a user via the rlogin authentication protocol. Only pam_sm_authenticate() is implemented within this module. pam_sm_authenticate() uses the ruserok(3SOCKET) library function to authenticate the rlogin or rsh user. pam_sm_setcred() is a null function. /usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so.1 is designed to be stacked on top of the /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so.1 module for both the rlogin and rsh services. This module is normally configured as sufficient so that subsequent authentication is performed only on failure of pam_sm_authenticate(). The following option may be passed in to this service module: debug syslog(3C) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------------------------------------+ |ATTRIBUTE TYPE ATTRIBUTE VALUE | |MT Level MT-Safe with exceptions | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ SEE ALSO
pam(3PAM), pam_authenticate(3PAM), ruserok(3SOCKET), syslog(3C), libpam(3LIB), pam.conf(4), attributes(5) NOTES
The interfaces in libpam() are MT-Safe only if each thread within the multi-threaded application uses its own PAM handle. SunOS 5.11 28 Oct 1996 pam_rhosts_auth(5)
