set environment variable SSH_ASKPASS or askpass in sudoers, resp

Question

I\'m trying to login to a ssh server and to execute something like:

ssh user@domain.com \'sudo echo \"foobar\"\'
         


        

Answer 1

Rather than allocating a TTY, or setting a password that can be seen in the command line, do something like this.

Create a shell file that echo's out your password like:

#!/bin/bash

echo "mypassword"

then copy that to the node you want using scp like this:

scp SudoPass.sh somesystem:~/bin

Then when you ssh do the following:

ssh somesystem "export SUDO_ASKPASS=~/bin/SudoPass.sh;sudo -A command -parameter"
