ssh from script

[Satish Kulkarni]

Hi,
I am writing a simple script to ssh to a another machine and execute some command

#!/usr/bin/ksh

ssh -l <hostip> << EOF
password
ls
EOF

but when I execute the script I am getting the following message

"Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal." an d I am asked to enter the password on the prompt..

Any idea how this could be resovled.

Thanks

My manpage tells me lot of possibilities to handle login via /etc/hosts.equiv, ~/.shosts, /etc/ssh/... or other config-files.

(none of them seems to work for me )
