Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated sshpass packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available.

Description

This package provides a tool for non-interactively performing password authentication with "interactive keyboard password authentication" of SSH. Most users should use the more secure public key authentication of SSH instead.

Changes to the sshpass component:

• With this update, the sshpass package has been upgraded to version 1.06. This upgrade adds -P for overriding the password prompt, adds -v for verbose logging of the prompt detection prompt, allows packagers and compilers to change the default password prompt, and when -V is used the default password prompt will also be printed. (BZ#1494117)
