note 21193 added to function.exec

Has anyone had any luck in getting exec, shell_exec, backticks, system, etc working for opening an ssh session to and running a command on a remote machine? I kepp seeing the PHP web server close the session before authentication is complete. Running the exact same command manually works just fine. Here's my command: ssh -l root myserver.mydomain.com /usr/local/pwdchange username newpassword oldpassword I can run other shell commands just fine.
