Re: Re: fork + Expect.pm + ssh == success!

Hi, thanks for this information. Net::SSH is something I did not know about. It looks very interesting. However, (from glancing briefly over the documentation), it does not look like it supports passwords or passphrase encrypted private-keys. We require public key and password authentication.

For someone else to decrypt the file containing my passwords (and passphrases), they would have to sniff my keyboard as I type in the decryption salt every time I run.

forks (E/EL/ELIZABETH/forks-0.01.tar.gz) looks extremely cool, and I am going to play with this very soon :) I guess it pays to search CPAN first! Thanks for your help!

Net::SSH is something I did not know about. It looks very interesting. However, (from glancing briefly over the documentation), it does not look like it supports passwords or passphrase encrypted private-keys. Net::SSH supports passwords from the tty and keys. It's just a mere wrapper for ssh itself. Net::SSH::Perl, on the other hand, does not just interface with ssh, but implements the ssh protocol in Perl. It supports passing passwords, and I think keys too. - Yes, I reinvent wheels. - Spam: Visit eurotraQ.	[reply]
