Re: another expect question

The original script as presented worked fine.

However, I have made the suggested changes and the password is still printed
to my screen. The script is now:

log_user 0
spawn ssh -l root kull
expect "word:"
send "password\r"
expect -re ".*"
interact

expect -re ".*"

I would like to stop the password from being printed to the screen.
what happens for you is :
you start ssh
you send a password

and no output is ever matched, all is still in the queue.

interact dumps all of that into your lap
