<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi I am new in the linux world. I've been trying to execute</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">the system function to execute the following code:</FONT>
</P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> uid = geteuid();</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> return_value = system("ssh -N -f -L 7050:rmyserver:6565 myUser@myserver\n");</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> return return_value;</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The code works fine. The problem with this is that I need to type my password to authenticate. If everything goes well</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">then I have a ssh tunnel with port 7050 listening from 6565 from myserver.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I would like to know how can you append the password to return_value so that I dont have to type</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">the password, since this routine has to be automatic.</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Please advice if there is any other better form to do it...or how append the password (of course that is not too secure)</FONT></P>
