[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] PAM problem

[John S. <js...@st...>]

We have setup some of our hosts to use PAM authentication for ssh.  For 
these hosts, Net::SSH::Perl does not pass through the password and 
instead prompts for a "password".
Is there any way to correct this?  Thanks.

Below is an example, note the " Doing challenge response 
authentication.  Password"

myhost: Reading configuration data /root/.ssh/config
myhost: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config
myhost: Allocated local port 1023.
myhost: Connecting to myremotehost, port 22.
myhost: Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version OpenSSH_3.8p1
myhost: Net::SSH::Perl Version 1.25, protocol version 1.5.
myhost: No compat match: OpenSSH_3.8p1.
myhost: Connection established.
myhost: Waiting for server public key.
myhost: Received server public key (768 bits) and host key (1024 bits).
myhost: Host 'myremotehost' is known and matches the host key.
myhost: Encryption type: DES3
myhost: Sent encrypted session key.
myhost: Received encryption confirmation.
myhost: RSA authentication failed: Can't load public key.
myhost: Doing challenge response authentication.
