Tha't s the benefit of the "while" loop version - if you get the
"yes/no" prompt, it answers it, if you don't it doesn't matter, it will
just answer the prompts you *do* get. The above linear scripts will
have to time out waiting for the "yes/no" if you are already
authenticated, slowing things down a bit (and sending a superfluous
"yes" back, which may confuse the next password prompt)..
As you say, it's not really Voodo, just almost indistinguishable!
