Hi,

first of all thnx to the following list of people (in no special order) :
David Lodge, Brett Geer, Bill Hassel, Allan Marillier, Alex Vinson, and
IlicR@stentor.ca

it basically boils down to the fact that my own suggestion (see bellow in
original post) for fixing my problem is the most secure one.

So i'd like to give some nice URL's in case anyone is looking for the
software used :

 - HP Secure Shell :
http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo
.pl?productNumber=T1471AA
 - HP SSH Release Notes : http://docs.hp.com/hpux/internet/index.html
 - SCPONLY Shell (not officially endorsed by HP) :
http://www.sublimation.org/scponly/

rgds & thnx
 -Dimitri A.

Subject: [HPADM] security question

Hi,

i've got a need to transfer a file from BOX-A to BOX-B without manual
interference.

I've got allot of solutions for this, but none seem to be totally secure,
the best thing i've come up with so far (except for writing/compiling a c
script) is scp with a passphrase-less key, and perhaps put a scp-schell on
BOX-B so that that the account used to transfer the file can only be used to
scp.

I've also been looking into a perl script with socket connect, but that
seems to be one of least secure options ..

Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be more secure than my scp
option.

rgds,
 -Dimitri A.
