Re^3: Net::SSH::Perl ConnectTimeout (ssh -o option)

Hi folks, I would like to know if there is a way to get time taken for each step in debug mode to be displayed to find out which step is taking the longer time. Net::SSH::Perl Version 1.35, protocol version 2.0, running in debug mode I have the following timeout issue at times and would like to get UNIX time displayed besides the sourceserver like following for each debug line. Thanks.

sourceserver unixtime: Reading configuration data /usr/local/apps/.ssh
+/config
sourceserver unixtime: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config
sourceserver unixtime: Connecting to targetserver, port 22.
sourceserver etc: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version
+ OpenSSH_4.3
sourceserver: Net::SSH::Perl Version 1.35, protocol version 2.0.
sourceserver: No compat match: OpenSSH_4.3.
sourceserver: Connection established.
sourceserver: Sent key-exchange init (KEXINIT), wait response.
sourceserver: Algorithms, c->s: 3des-cbc hmac-sha1 none
sourceserver: Algorithms, s->c: 3des-cbc hmac-sha1 none
sourceserver: Entering Diffie-Hellman Group 1 key exchange.
sourceserver: Sent DH public key, waiting for reply.
sourceserver: Received host key, type 'ssh-dss'.
sourceserver: Host 'targetserver' is known and matches the host key.
sourceserver: Computing shared secret key.
sourceserver: Verifying server signature.
sourceserver: Waiting for NEWKEYS message.
sourceserver: Send NEWKEYS.
sourceserver: Enabling encryption/MAC/compression.
sourceserver: Sending request for user-authentication service.
sourceserver: Service accepted: ssh-userauth.
sourceserver: Trying empty user-authentication request.
sourceserver: Authentication methods that can continue: publickey,gssa
+pi-w
ith-mic,password,keyboard-interactive.
sourceserver: Next method to try is publickey.
sourceserver: Next method to try is password.
sourceserver: Trying password authentication.
Taking too long to complete.  Timed out after 60 seconds.

The easiest solution would probably be to just patch or to redefine the module `debug` function. Another, less intrusive, option is to tie STDERR to an object that prepends the current time to every printed line.	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks salva for the suggestions. I added the time() in the debug line as I not sure to tie time to STDERR. Suggestion welcome. As far as the timeout is concerned, issue is from `sourceserver: Trying password authentication. to sourceserver: Login completed, opening dummy shell channel. (please no +te this obtained from a successful login attempt, without timeout) Taking too long to complete. Timed out after 60 seconds.` [download] I'm using following code to logon to target server: `$ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($server, debug => 15, options=> [ "UserKnownHostsFile /usr/local/apps/.ssh/known_hosts"]);` [download] Is there other option I could use to debug this further? Thanks.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I don't know. There could be some incompatibility/bug on the remote server. It announces itself as OpenSSH 4.3 so, it is quite old! As you seem to be on a Linux or Unix system my advice would be to use my module Net::OpenSSH. Net::SSH::Perl is mostly unmaintained nowadays and full of bugs.	[reply]
