in reply to Net::OpenSSH + CGI problem

Both ssh and Net::OpenSSH are able to provide quite detailed debugging information.

Redirect STDERR to some file or ensure it ends in your apache logs. Add $Net::OpenSSH::debug=-1 at the beginning of your script and also, call the constructor with the option master_opts=>'-vvv'.

Then, after removing any confidential information from the output, post it here!

      Quick followup...

      we run some Cisco ASR and IOS based routers, apparently the IOS based routers work fine, while the ASR (IOXR) based routers.

      The main difference, at least visually, is the prompt:

      For the working router the prompt I get is:

      1-CHI-RR1-Curly#

      While for the one that doesn't work I get:

      RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:1-CHI-PE14-SOB-QuiGon#

        Does Net::OpenSSH work against both kinds of routers when used outside the CGI environment?

        The module FAQ contains an entry about common issues when connecting to network equipment.
