Re: OpenSSH question : password prompt when scripting

if you do

su - pearson
/usr/local/bin/get_Pearson

do you get prompted for a password?

as with any ssh-problem its advisable to use -v or -vv to debug - on
client and serverside

Subject: OpenSSH question : password prompt when scripting

On AIX 5.1 , using openssh, running as a user I can do a key exchange,
and will not be prompted for a password :

$ sftp geles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Connecting to xxxasaprdftp.nc.ncs.com...
sftp> quit
$

But if I run the exact same command as a script, it prompts me for a
password:

[viper:/usr/local/bin] # su - pearson -c /usr/local/bin/get_Pearson
Connecting to xxxasaprdftp.nc.ncs.com...
gesles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx's password:


Has anyone seen this behavior in scripted sftp sessions ?
