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

I would like to write a script to connect from an AIX server to a SAN switch running FabOS 6.4 ( which can't upgrade to version 7 ) to monitor somethings. FabOS version 7 has a feature allowing an admin account to import authentication key for any users, but FabOS 6 doesn't. In FabOS 6, an admin account can import authentication key for only itself. It means that if I connect to that SAN switch using ssh-keygen, I'll have to login directly to an admin account, and this isn't my choice. I just want to do this by an user account.

Not using ssh-keygen means that each time I run the script, I have to enter the password. It's the problem I'm facing SmilieSmilieSmilie.

As i see in documentation, you can create a user with admin role for which you can use ssh keys.

"The default admin user must set up the allowed-user with the admin role."

I haven't done this myself, but i suspect that admin role for user will be able to fulfill your request regarding "monitoring somethings"


Hope the helps.

As what I read. there's no option to do that in FabOS, admin is admin.
