Description: Non-interactive ssh password authentication
12
SSH's (secure shell) most common authentication mode is called "interactive
13
keyboard password authentication", so called because both because it is
14
typically done via keyboard, and because openssh takes active measures to make
15
sure that the password is, indeed, typed interactively by the keyboard.
16
Sometimes it is necessary, however, to fool ssh into accepting an interactive
17
password non-interactively. This is where sshpass comes in.
19
SECURITY NOTE: There is a reason openssh insists that passwords be typed
20
interactively. Passwords are harder to store securely and to pass around
21
securely between programs. If you have not looked into solving your needs
22
using SSH's "public key authentication", perhaps in conjunction with the ssh
23
agent (RTFM ssh-add), please do so before being tempted into using this
