Auto Server Setup

Ok, I've almost got this done! I have a script on the server to accept the
command line from OptiGold through ssh. I can open a command prompt window
and paste in the command line and it will add the user to the server and
everything works perfectly. But when I try to do it though OG, it's not
adding the user. The command prompt window pops up for half a second, but
when I check the user wasn't added to the server. Somehow the key to the
problem is, I can open a command prompt window and paste the command line
in and it works fine, but if I just try to go to Start -> Run and paste it
in there it doesn't work (I'm assuming this is how OG does it too).

Here is my command line:

c:\ssh\ssh.exe -i c:/ssh/.ssh/identity -l username server.something.com
useradd <Login> <Pass> <FName> <LName>

I get the same results with or without the -i identity option (although it
works fine either way in the command prompt window). On the server I get
"Did no receive ident string" in sshd.log. I'm using Windows 2000 if that
makes any difference. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated it! I
really need to get this going this weekend :)

Thank you,

Susie Ward

PS Anyone who is having problems getting this setup, email me and I'll help
ya. I had a few people email me a couple weeks ago when I was first
getting it all setup, but I lost some of the emails, so email me again
:) I'm thinking about writing up a little how-to on this once I get it all
figured out myself heh
