Hi All,

I'm currently having a problem,
Everynight I login to a number of unixboxes using openssh via a script and
gather some information from them.
On the boxes I have put the publickey and all and that works out fine.
The list of servers I login to, I gather from DNS.
When a new box is added to our network/DNS sometimes the needed publickey
is not put in place, causing the script to hang indefinately because it is
waiting for a password.
Now what would come in handy here is if I could give the client something
like a logingracetime like you can configure on the serverside.
Can that be done ?
Using openssh OpenSSH_3.2.2p1. (I know it's a bit old, working on the
upgrade....)

Thanks for any hints,

Mark
