Does anyone know of the existence of components which would allow
communication with a Linux machine under ssh?

I want to write a simple frontend which would run on an XP box but
which would setup Samba usernames and passwords on a Linux Server.

I just want to run a simple 'smbpasswd -a newuser' command on the
linux box, probably through ssh so that the Office Administration
bureaucrat can simply enable (and remove) users.

You could try TTelnetSend from the Synapse Library:

Great, thanks.

I've also found Indy

I wouldn't waste my time on Indy.
Afair Telnet is easier with Synapse.

Yes.

I used Indy a few years ago for an ftp client app using Delphi 3.

All I need for this implementation is a crude SSH front end. ie I want
a user to log into my Samba server and create a smbpasswd. I'll see if
I can achieve that with Synapse. Indy looks OTT.

Hello Cov

Did you manage to create your ssh front end ?
I want to do one to connect and check automatically servers status,
but i'm new with lazarus.
Is it possible for you to send me a sample code ?

thanks in advance
