    Marian,

    If you cannot set up the ssh-agent processes to provide passwordless login
    (this is the better way!), you could try using expect. Your expect script
    though, would have to contain the password.

    Subject: ssh read password from stdin

    Hello all,

             I am working on a software witch needs to create a tunnel with ssh.
    The ssh connection will be lunched as a separate process from the main
    application. I need to be able to send the password to stdin.
    How can i workaround this issue, thinking from a programmer perspective ?

    Thanks,
    /Marian
