162<p><strong>Security Note:</strong> Hard coding passwords and/or usernames
163in sshexec task can be a serious security hole. Consider using variable
164substitution and include the password on the command line. For example:<br>
165<pre>
166 &lt;sshexec host=&quot;somehost&quot;
167 username=&quot;${username}&quot;
168 password=&quot;${password}&quot;
169 command=&quot;touch somefile&quot;/&gt;
170</pre>
171Invoke ant with the following command line:
172<pre>
173 ant -Dusername=me -Dpassword=mypassword target1 target2
174</pre>
