Assuming you have passphraseless RSA/DSA keys setup, you can avoid the "are you sure you want to ..." question via the following commandline option: -o 'StrictHostKeyChecking=no' That tells SSH to not ask about adding hosts to the known_hosts file. I have a script which will take in a list of hosts via STDIN and SSH to each one running a certain command, so in the code I have the following that works nicely: $command = "ssh -f -n -q -c blowfish -x -o \'StrictHostKeyChecking=no\'"; $params = "$machine $remoteuser \'@ARGV\' 2>&1"; -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "if you don't know what Unix is, get off the internet." - Catherine Skidmore

ssh/virtual terminal "challenge"

by Bill Mills-Curran

I have a situation where I'd like to run ssh from a script to connect to a different machine. In some cases, the machine's IP will have changed, due to DHCP. Is there a way I can either: 1. make ssh accept the new site without supplying the "yes" from the keyboard. or 2. Somehow set up a controlling terminal or virtual terminal to provide the "yes" that ssh requires? I have not been able to get something like "openvt" to work. I have no experience with these things. TIA, Bill

Palm III OS...

by Stephen C. Daukas

Anyone know where I can get Palm OS version 3.5.3 for my Palm III? Palm have gone to 4.1 and are charging $30.00. I don't want to spring the $$ because most of 4.1 is for mobile connectivity and I don't care about that. 3.5.3 has all the stuff I want, but it is no longer available from Palm's website... Any suggestions? Thanks! Steve

http://www.thechipmerchant.com/19610-0.html Stop yer moaning! ;-) Memory is still well below the 1/mb mark we thought was insanely low 1 and 1/2 years ago. I thought for sure it would spike above that level by now given some of the Dramurai's willingness to close factories. It may very well, yet...

memory

by Gregory Avedissian

Since we were just on the subject of hardware, I was wondering if anyone had any PC133 memory that they wanted to part with. I have a new box that's half built and would like 256MB, but I'd settle for 64 just to get it going. I'm stalling on the memory, hoping the price will come back down. (it doubled right after christmas). Thanks. Greg
