sshpass no longer works?

Question

I'm trying to use sshpass to login automatically, however, it seems to have problem with /dev/tty

echo password | ./sshpass ssh root@xxxx
...
debug1: read_passphrase: can't open /dev/tty: No such device or address
...
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password).

Any ideas? I can login directly without sshpass, so it's a tty problem.

I thought it's `sshpass -p password | ssh [email protected]` — Michael D., Jan 23 '17 at 08:28
@MichaelD. no, it should be `./sshpass -p password ssh root@xxxx` — Jakuje, Jan 23 '17 at 09:29

sshpass is used different way:

./sshpass -p password ssh root@xxxx

as explained in the manual page synopsis:

sshpass [-ffilename|-dnum|-ppassword|-e] [options] command arguments
