Login timed out - Net::SSH::Expect

reisinge has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello monks, I am using Net::SSH::Expect to connect to a remote host and execute commands there:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SSH::Expect;

my $ssh = Net::SSH::Expect->new(
    host     => $ip,
    password => $pass,
    user     => 'root',
    raw_pty  => 1
);

my $login_output = $ssh->login();
sleep 10;

# run arbitrary commands, like
$ssh->exec("ls -l /");

I am getting the following error:

SSHAuthenticationError Login timed out. The input stream currently has
+ the contents bellow: Warning: Permanently added '<IP_ADDRESS>' (RSA)
+ to the list of known hosts.
 at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/Expect.pm line 828.

I even set ~/.ssh/config:

# Bypass SSH key checking
Host *
   StrictHostKeyChecking no
   UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null
[download]

Can you see the problem? Thanks.

Hi Jose, I ran this successfully: use strict; use warnings; use Net::SSH::Expect; my $ip ='xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'; my $pass = 'somepassword'; my $ssh = Net::SSH::Expect->new( host => $ip, password => $pass, user => 'yagna', raw_pty => 1 ); my $login_output = $ssh->login(); sleep 10; my $who = $ssh->exec("who"); print ($who); $ssh->close(); Can you try with a login that is other than root? It is possible that you have changed config to allow root access via ssh. Let me know how it goes. Are you using perl on unix Or Perl on windows? Thanks, Yagna	[reply]
