Have you used it to do CVS logins?  The CLUE site has a read-only 'anonymous' 
CVS user.  The password is anonymous.  Here is how I launch my expect script:

$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous at clue.denver.co.us:/usr/local/cvsroot 
$ expect cvslogin anonymous

- ------ cvslogin ---------
set password [lindex $argv 1]
spawn cvs login
expect "*password:"
send "$password\r"
expect eof
- -----------------------

CVS reports:  
$ expect cvslogin anonymous
spawn cvs login
(Logging in to anonymous at clue.denver.co.us)
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server clue.denver.co.us rejected 
access

I know that anonymous/anonymous works because I can do a 'cvs login' 
interactively and it will work correctly.

Anyone with suggestions?

Thanks
Jeff
