[ale] Question about scripting...

[James Sumners]

Instead of sending the username and password on every connect, why
don't you setup shared key-pairs[1]? I don't like using them for
regular user interaction (I _want_ to type my password when I ssh to a
remote host), but they make doing what you want to do a LOT easier.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
