            Hello Guys,

                       Let me make more clear about the issues with ssh and
    the posible solutions. I am working on a multiplatform database
    application written in Qt/C++ witch will need tunneling suport and
    remote execution throught ssh. From what i was read from you this are
    the posible solutions:

    1. Using ssh-agent as Wilson and Duncan sugested.
            I am still investigating this metod. From what i was reading
    about ssh-agent i will come into further issues because i will have to
    run more processes with the main applications. The application need to
    use the same on Linux, Mac and Windows. For porting ssh on windows i
    was thinking to use cygwin lib.

    2. Using public keys as Ball and John sugested.
       This sounds the more eligible metod right now.

    3. Using expect. as Braden suggested:
          This sounds interesting bu i don't know anything about it. Can
    this be used from C/C++ ?

    4. Using ssh with password
              For using this approch i have only control to stdin and
    stdout of the process (ssh ). And here i came into issue since ssh
    doesn't accept passwords on stdin.

    If something like that in bash(csh ) will work i will have the issue
    solved: echo password | ssh name@exemple.com

    Thanks,
    /Marian
