   Hi,
   I am still working on this, its sad that very few in the Cygwin world
could
   help me on this! 
   Corinna, I saw a similar problem in the cygwin  mailing list in the
thread -
   "ssh/sshd command line missing response".
   
   Can you tell me what my problem is? I desperately need help on this..

I'm not quite sure. Just a guess: Try the `-t' option of OpenSSH.

  Hi Cygwin users,
  
  I am using Expect-5.26 from Cygwin-(not sure of the version)
  I am trying to connect to a remote host through SSH, & on the command
line,
  it works just perfect. But when I write an "Expect" script for the same,
it
  does not do anything.
  
  Here is the comand I use:
  	/bin/ssh -l username -p port hostname.abc.com "ls -l"
  It prompts for the passphrase, & when I enter it, it neatly lists the
  contents of my home dir. (username, port & hostname.abc.com actually have
  real values)
   
  The Expect code fragment is below:
  
  #!/usr/bin/expect
  spawn /bin/ssh -l username -p port hostname.abc.com "ls -l" 
  expect -re "Enter passphrase for RSA key '.*': " 
  send "passphrase\r" 
  expect eof
  
  This however does not list anything, though it takes the passphrase.. (I
can
  see the passphrase being echoed on the screen)
  More surprisingly, as soon as the script ends, the monitor will go out of
  echo mode(I cannot see what I type!!)
  
  The same happens when I try SCP as well.
  
  Can anybody tell me whats wrong with what I am doing? 
  
  Thanks a lot on advance..
  -Shuba
