[Pyssh-discuss] Stuff

[Chuck E. <Chu...@ya...>]

Hi,

I'm the pyssh founder/admin/etc. I'm in the middle of moving across the USA 
so my Internet access and free time is very spotty for the next week. I 
just read the messages you sent:

* I agree with Peter's notes about the password warning. If you wanna 
submit a doc patch, I can apply it. Otherwise, I'll make the change myself 
probably sometime next week.

* I have experienced Ignasi's problems on sporadic occasions. I don't have 
a solution yet, but hope we can figure something out!

[Pyssh-discuss] pyssh from command line

[<as...@ly...>]

The documentation includes an example for running pyssh from the command
line:

"The pyssh.py module can be run as a program with command line arguments
to run ssh. This is useful for testing:

> python pyssh.py host=HOST user=USER command=date password=PASSWORD"

Maybe you should adding a warning about that the password will be visible
to all users on the system via "ps" etc. A more safe approach is to use a
temporary file. I've used this method (hopefully safe) with sshcmd
(http://www.lysator.liu.se/~astrand/projects/sshcmd/).

[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)
