Getting permission denied when reading in password for use with Net::SSH::Perl
Hi
I have created a script that uses the Net::SSH::Perl module to learn how the module works and to learn how to use it.
The script i have created is shown below:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings ;
use strict ;
# we need this to mange ssh sessions nicely
use Net::SSH::Perl ;
my $command = "pwd" ;
my $user = "exceed" ;
my $password = "" ;
my $sshConnection = Net::SSH::Perl->new("localhost") ;
print "Enter password: " ;
$password = <STDIN> ;
$sshConnection->login($user, $password) ;
my ($stdout, $stderr, $exit) = $sshConnection->cmd($command) ;
print "\n" . $exit . "\n" ;
print "\n" . $stderr . "\n" ;
print "\n" . $stdout . "\n" ;
Its a very simple script, but for some reason it doesnt work.
When the script is run i get a "Permission denied" message, but when i change the script so i dont read in the password, i just put the password in plain text in the $password variable, then it works for some reason.
I have tried the "interactive" and "debug" options to the new contructor for Net::SSH::Perl. When i used the "interactive" mode it just prompted me first for a password, then for a password for a DSA key, then for a RSA key and so on.. it never stopped asking for a password. I have not edited the secure shell server configuration that comes with the openssh-server in debian.
This is the output when running with the debug option:
Code:

Im also wondering if someone knows how to not show the keystrokes (whats being typed) when entering the password.
All help is appericiated, hope someone can help me with this. thanks.
Edit: I found this http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=590452, but i dont have any authorization and i wont be allowed to edit the source code of the perl module where im planning to run a script im going to create later that uses the Net::SSH::Perl module.
Edit 2: Problem solved. I had to use the "chomp" function with the password as the parameter to remove any newlines. |
