it is not possible to use "empty-pass.." with cisco, 'cause it supports only ssh1 with DES encryption.. rather outdated.. And yes i want to do all this with Perl, 'cause there will be alot of parsing of the results :"), not only logon-execute-logout..
hmm .. what about persistant connection (or at least 1-2 hour). I will need some sort of deamon for this isnt it ?!
