<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've written a complex them to handle systemimager imaging process.</div>
<div>Everythings works perfectly and I can even image a system and finish boot without rebooting.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm now in the process og having deployemnt onver an ssh tunnel.</div>
<div>My dracut module is able to handle local ssh keys, retreive a public key using curl or rsync, but a more simple way would be to ask for ssh password.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm testing on CentOS-7 latest update.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My theme (script) works fin asking for a password, but I'm totally unable to retreive it or use it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've tried 3 aproaches.</div>
<div>1/ without using the --command => unable to retreive the password from standard input.<br>
</div>
<div>SSHPASS="$(plymouth ask-for-password --prompt 'Please, enter password:')" sshpass -e ssh oscar-server 'hostname' > /tmp/result</div>
<div>=> Doesn't work. $SSHPASS is empty. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>plymouth ask-for-password --prompt 'Please, enter password:' > /tmp/password</div>
<div>=> creates an empty password.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2/ using the --command => I must type the password twice???!!!</div>
<div>plymouth ask-for-password --prompt "Please, enter password:" --command "ssh my-server 'hostname'" --number-of-tries=3 > /tmp/result<br>
</div>
<div>=> 1st time I tiype password: the password dialog close when I hit enter. Then I type blindly and it works :-/</div>
<div>In text mode, I see the plymouth password prompt, I type the password, hit enter and then I get the ssh password propt, I reenter password and it works.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3/ using systemd-ask-password => doesn't display password dialog under plymouth and not available on centos-6...</div>
<div>SSHPASS="$(systemd-ask-password 'SSH password')" sshpass -e ssh oscar-server 'hostname' > /tmp/result</div>
<div> => Works in text mode. In GUI mode, no password dialog appears.</div>
<div>=> Not available on centos-6 (that I have to support as it's still maintained).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any advise or help would be greatly apreciated.</div>
