I did mess around with "expect" for a while to pass the "Y" back into the question... but meh I hate expect... and yes this time was just as little fun as last time.
So I ditched that idea. Add the fingerprinting, get over it.
Do that everytime if you don't change away from /var/tmp/root...
Perhaps this will honour the $HOME env_var, never thought of that.
also built sshpass for the exceptionally lazy - may bundle one day... undecided.
Bottom line is: if you expect to neatly connect to the ssh on your PC? expect to do a tiny bit of work... Thanks for giving it the eye-over.
At least you didn't LOL at my efforts
Thanks dude.
EDIT: perhaps I could wrap this in a KTERM???
Then at least the average user would be able to see the login interface without too much "effort"
hmmm....
