[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Odd ssh hang when executing command

[Sander P. <San...@da...>]

Hello,

I have some scripts that use Net::ssh::perl to execute commands on our
Linux based appliance. We recently upgraded the kernel level and I'm
seeing some odd behavior that didn't occur with the previous one. If the
box has sat for a while my script will execute fine but if I immediately
run the script again it hangs when trying to execute a command over ssh.
I turned debug to 1 and these are the last 4 lines of the output:

sander.datadomain.com: Sending command: cifs enable
sander.datadomain.com: Requesting service exec on channel 1.
sander.datadomain.com: channel 1: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 32768
sander.datadomain.com: input_channel_request: rtype exit-status reply 0

Can anyone shed any light on what the $ssh->cmd() call is waiting for?
It appears that the command 'cifs enable' is not completing although I
can not reproduce this by executing it by hand in an interactive ssh
session (Putty). I'm trying to get the DUT to be more chatty to tell me
what it's doing as well.

Thanks,

	Sander
