Why such limitations?
The idea of using secure shell suite is mosltly that: after having a secured ( crypted) connection, using keys so there is no more need of entering passwords...
The only other alternative is using a file in home directory but that would be seen by your admins as a security breach... ( my opinion is more temperate...)

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to run scp as a one-line command, as of right now, it prompts me for the user's password to the remote machine. Does anyone know if there is an option to pass the password parameter into the scp command on the same line so it doesn't prompt me? Thanks! (1 Reply)

mtnopt
MTNOPT(1) monotone MTNOPT(1)
NAME
mtnopt - generate shell variables from monotone workspace options
SYNOPSIS
mtnopt [-s|-c|-v] [-d dir] [-k keys]
mtnopt -h
DESCRIPTION
mtnopt prints shell variable assignments for each value in the file of monotone workspace options, _MTN/options, in the current directory.
For instance, if _MTN/options contained this text:
database "/home/user/src/monotone.mtn"
branch "net.venge.monotone"
keydir "/home/user/.monotone/keys"
mtnopt would print:
MTN_database="/home/user/src/monotone.mtn";
MTN_branch="net.venge.monotone";
MTN_keydir="/home/user/.monotone/keys";
By default, mtnopt attempts to guess appropriate syntax from the value of the SHELL environment variable. This can be overridden with the
-s and -c command-line options.
OPTIONS
-s Print variable assignments in sh(1) syntax.
-c Print variable assignments in csh(1) syntax.
-v Print only the values, with no indication of the corresponding option keys.
-d directory
Look for _MTN/options in directory, rather than in the current directory.
-k keys
Print assignments for only those options that match the egrep(1) regular expression keys.
-h Print a help message and exit.
BUGS
mtnopt only looks in the current directory for the _MTN directory, so it will fail in a subdirectory of a workspace.
mtnopt should be aware of the set of possible options, rather than blindly printing whatever is in _MTN/options.
The behavior when there is no _MTN/options file to be found is less than helpful.
