Re: automate SSH-HOST-CONFIG


Here is the complete script for anyone in the future. There was some odd
stuff that this did until I got it worked out. This is for a brand new
install of cygwin on a box that has never been used before. I am sure 
someone can possibly edit this so that it can select from a different number
of expect statements in case a user has installed cygwin before and is now
doing a reinstall.

#!/bin/expect -f

# required on Win2k3
exec chmod +r /etc/passwd
exec chmod +r /etc/group
exec chmod +x /var

spawn ssh-host-config

# Host keys generation is lengthy procedure
set timeout 20

expect {
  "Should privilege separation be used? (yes/no)" { send "yes\r" }
} 

set timeout 5

expect {
  "Note that creating a new user requires that the current account have" {
send "yes\r";
exp_continue }
  "Do you want to install sshd as a service?" { send "yes\r";
exp_continue }
  "Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon:" { send " \r"; }
}

set timeout 5

expect {
 "Do you want to use a different name? (yes/no)" { send "no\r"; 
exp_continue }
 "Create new privileged user account" { send "yes\r"; 
exp_continue }
 "Please enter" { send "pwd\r";
exp_continue }
 "Reenter:" {send "pwd\r";
exp_continue }
}
