not really, we can use "-o 'StrictHostKeyChecking no'" (and "-q", but that's
in by default anyway) and possibly "-o 'BatchMode yes'" too. See ssh_config(1)
for details. The question remains whether it's a good idea to risk
man-in-the-middle attacks by not verifying the host key fingerprint. After all,
ssh is not asking for confirmation only for the sake of being a nuisance. But
it's your decision, of course.

It would appear that expect is outputting the string "spawn". As it works well
outside BackupPC, it does not output anything in that case. Strange.

An expect problem. But then, I don't know expect and wouldn't use it in this
case even if I did.
