Re^5: get ssh key passphrase from agent

Thank you for helping. Sure:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Net::SSH2;
 
my $ssh2 = Net::SSH2->new();
$ssh2->connect('158.226.63.99')
    or $ssh2->die_with_error;
$ssh2->auth_agent('z004kapc')
    or $ssh2->die_with_error;
my $chan = $ssh2->channel()
  or $ssh2->die_with_error;
$chan->exec('pwd')
  or $ssh2->die_with_error;
print while <$chan>;

And line 7 is the line where you try to talk to the agent. I presume that the environment variables are set up so that the domain socket etc. are found? Does the error message change when you set the environment variables (`$ENV{SSH_AUTH_SOCKET}` ?) to some invalid value before creating `$ssh2`? Does your Perl process run as the same user as the ssh process you're using to connect? Maybe consider setting `trace => -1` in the constructor to dump lots (and lots) of information, and maybe compare that to what the `ssh -vvv` executable does. Maybe there is a difference that shows up? `my $ssh2 = Net::SSH2->new(trace => -1);` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

This is very helpful, since I don't have this env. Variable for some reason. I think a cause for this could be that I use Windows, since I need to develop it for windows. Do you know, how I could make it compatible nevertheless? Edit: I noticed that it may come across sarcastic, but it is actually helpful, because it made me find out I don't have it	[reply]

This is weird - are you per chance using the `ssh-agent` and `ssh` that comes with Windows or are you using the OpenSSH binaries? Mixing the two doesn't work and my attempts to mix the two always ended in tears...	[reply] [d/l] [select]
