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

[Chakresh Y. <cy...@ns...>]

Hi,

 

I am running a simple script to execute a command on a remote linux server.
The machine on which pl script is running is windows XP (no cygwin
installed). Below is the script and output

 

#testing script

use Net::SSH::Perl;

 

$targetIP = shift;

$userName = shift;

$password = shift;

$sourceFileName = shift;

$destinationDir = shift;

 

my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($targetIP, debug=>1);

$ssh->login($userName,$password);

 

$ssh->cmd("service snmpd start");

 

print "Bye";

 

The debug output is 

 

ChakreshYadavPC: Reading configuration data /.ssh/config

ChakreshYadavPC: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config

ChakreshYadavPC: Connecting to 192.168.1.203, port 22.

ChakreshYadavPC: Remote version string: SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.5p1

 

ChakreshYadavPC: Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version

ChakreshYadavPC: No compat match: OpenSSH_3.5p1.

ChakreshYadavPC: Connection established.

ChakreshYadavPC: Waiting for server public key.

ChakreshYadavPC: Received server public key (768 bits) and host key (1024
bits).

 

ChakreshYadavPC: Host '192.168.1.203' is known and matches the host key.

ChakreshYadavPC: Encryption type: DES3

ChakreshYadavPC: Sent encrypted session key.

ChakreshYadavPC: Received encryption confirmation.

ChakreshYadavPC: RSA authentication failed: Can't load public key.

ChakreshYadavPC: Doing challenge response authentication.

ChakreshYadavPC: No challenge presented.

ChakreshYadavPC: Trying password authentication.

ChakreshYadavPC: Sending command: service snmpd start

ChakreshYadavPC: Entering interactive session.

 

 

The scipt does not exit after sending command to remote box. I can see
service "snmpd" running on remote Unix server but no message "Bye" on
windows box.

 

Does anyone has faced this issue ? Any pointers will be highly appreciated
as I need this script to run ASAP.

 

Thanks

Chakresh
