    This happens when ssh has no controlling terminal or can't open /dev/tty
      to ask for the password (eg if the perms on /dev/tty are wrong).

    Possible soulutions are:
    * using the "Expect" perl module to provide a controlling tty, then
    provide the password via that tty
    * using public-key authentication
    * abusing SSH_ASKPASS to provide the password to SSH over a descriptor

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
