Thanks for all your suggestions, as I basically wanted to create an icon 
on the desktop to turn off the firewall/server, I went with expect. I 
also discovered cygwin on my journeys so am very happy - I just have a 
single script for all systems.
I didn't read the docs carefully enough, and didn't see that autoexpect 
is just a script, so downloading from the expect site + gentoo expect 
solved it for gentoo.
Cheers
Antoine
