ssh-sftp-perl-users

[Stefan G. <st...@zi...>]

Hi,

I am testing Net::SFTP.
I am doing this on Slackware 10.0 and on Slackware-current. both with
perl 5.8.4.

I am seeing 2 problems

I made a simple test script

----
      1 #!/usr/bin/perl -w
      2 use strict;
      3 use Net::SFTP;
      4 my( $host, $userName, $passWord , %args);
      5
      6 $host = "localhost";
      7 $userName = "root";
      8 $passWord = "Re9RaG1duN";
      9
     10 $args{user} = $userName;
     11 $args{password} = $passWord;
     12
     13 my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host, %args);
     14 $sftp->ls( ".", sub { print "++ ", $_[0]->{longname}, "\n" } );
-----


Problem 1
---------

I have a file ~/.ssh/config
this faile contains
----
host AnyDumbHost
User NoSuchUser
----

If i run my script i get following problem.

$ ./sftp-test
Received disconnect message: Too many authentication failures for NoSuchUser
 at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/Net/SSH/Perl/AuthMgr.pm line 142
$

When i remove this file the script works fine.


Problem 2
---------

Same script (no ~/.ssh/config file)

I start the script and immediately pres Enter at least once.

$ ./sftp-test
                                       <----  Enter pressed in shell
Connection closed at ./sftp-test line 14
$

line 565 in SFTP.pm
croak "Connection closed" unless $buf->length > 4;

aparently the buffer gets filled from STDIN with the Enter and that
ruins the script.



I hope this info can be usefull to make Net::SFTP better.

Thanks for a nice piece of software!
