31 <para>
32 The <application>Expect</application> package was installed in the
33 LFS temporary tools directory for testing other packages. These
34 procedures install it in a permanent location. It contains tools for
35 automating interactive applications such as <command>telnet</command>,
36 <command>ftp</command>, <command>passwd</command>,
37 <command>fsck</command>, <command>rlogin</command>,
38 <command>tip</command>, etc. <application>Expect</application> is also
39 useful for testing these same applications as well as easing all sorts of
40 tasks that are prohibitively difficult with anything else.
