    Hi,

               We also will need this approach from a C++ application.
    Without modifing the ssh to read the password from stdin we could pass
    it from a text file.
    But this way the password could be stollen. I really don't know why ssh
    does'nt support this ?
    Anyone achived to modifiy it ?
