Hi Brett,

Why not use the 'expect' program?  It's purpose is to enable
you to deal with interactive programs non-interactively.  In
the words of the man page:

'Expect is a program that "talks" to other interactive programs
according to a script.'

So you can write a script that expects the password prompt from
clog and sends the password in response.  Your script would have
pairs of lines like:

	expect "username:"
	send "brett\r"
	expect "password:"
	send "mypassword\r"

The BSDs and Linux all have ports / packages. 

Regards,

Dermot
