[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Problem with Net::SSH::Perl

[Thompson, M. <Mar...@uk...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to build in Net::SSH::Perl into my Perl 5.8 installation on a
Solaris 8 server, and I've managed to get it to work part of the way. It now
seems to stall when trying to use pubkey authentication (which is what I
want to use). I have a feeling it's something to do with the Math::BigInt
being too slow but I have installed all the Pari libs etc. When my test
script reaches the pubkey point it consumes 70% CPU and never comes back.

The output I get is:

host-not-web01: Reading configuration data //.ssh/config
host-not-web01: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config
host-not-web01: Allocated local port 1023.

host-not-web01: Next method to try is publickey.
host-not-web01: Trying pubkey authentication with key file '//.ssh/id_dsa'


The same script works on the standard 5.005 perl that comes with Solaris 8,
and I can use the normal ssh commands fine.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark
