Greetings All-
I'm about to embark on some remote management testing and need a way to login to a remote system running CentOS 4.x/5.x via SSH, su to root (using a password), then execute a command.
I currently login to the boxes using key based SSH like this:
ssh -i ~/remote_key admin@$REMOTEIP
Then, I SU to root. However, if I try to do this automatically like this:
ssh -i ~/remote_key admin@$REMOTEIP 'su -l'
I'm getting:
"standard in must be a tty"
So, how am I able to remote login using SSH, su to root, then execute a command as root?
All comments and suggestions welcome. Thanks!
