Thanks, guys. Yeah, I remember $1/MB sounding good. I also remember being able to fit a whole program into 1MB. Ah, those were the days... If you folks think memory prices are going to go higher, then maybe I better go for it now. Thanks.

Re: ssh/virtual terminal "challenge"

Found it (RTFM)! Just add: -o "StrictHostKeyChecking no" to the command line.

Re: [Wlug] PalmOS download

Hi Rick! Thanks, but I don't have 3.5.x, I'm at rev 3.3. This page says it is recommended only for 3.5.x. Sorry, I should have been more explicit.

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
