[Pyssh-discuss] Not working

[Ignasi Palou-R. <pa...@mi...>]

I'm trying to execute some remote commands through ssh. I saw some of
the sample code in comp.lang.python and then this package. I'm not
having any success.

I can get a remote connection, whether passing a password or using RSA
keys. The problem is that I can't get it to execute the remote
command. Here is what happens:

localhost% python2 pyssh.py host=remote_host command=date debug=1
>> child took 5 command bytes
>> child response is 'date\r\n'
results =
'date\r\n'

But this should work, because calling ssh directly does:

localhost% ssh remote_host date
Fri Aug 31 10:54:25 EDT 2001

I have set RSAA authentication between localhost and remote_host as
you can see.

Basically, the remote host is not getting what I send as a command,
and I just get the echo back. This is exaclty the same problem I have
if I try to code it up myself.

I get this same result both at work (RedHat Linux 7.1, Python
2.1.1) and home (Debian Woody, Python 2.0.1)
