[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] provided password does not work with Net::SSH::Perl

[Rob V. <rob...@br...>]

Hi there,

I've trying out the Net::SSH::Perl module.

I've installed it with the cpan shell.

And it works fine when I use pubkey authentication.
But when I provide a password with login it fails to authenticate.

If I add the interactive -> "true", option it gives me a prompt for a
password after which it executes the rest of the script flawlessly.
(ie, gives a directory listing from the remote machine)

I've tried this with the demo script that came with the package, 
(cmd.pl in the eg dir from the distribution)

I've used all the defaults (except for host,login and password ...doh)
And then I get the following output:

pc: Reading configuration data /root/.ssh/config
pc: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config
pc: Allocated local port 1023.

I'm trying this on suse9.2

anybody who can tell me where to look ?
