Hi Monks,

a strange device and I having a litte fight here and currently I'm loosing - that's why I ask for help... :-)

I'd like to connect and get noticed that it did not work. From cmd line: the device does not respond for 60sec, asks for user and pwd after that. (user and pwd will not work in that case - I know and that's fine, only trying to get an error for unsucessfull login....) 

$ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new(
    $device, 
    user => $sshuser, 
    passwd => $sshpwd,
    ctl_dir => "/tmp/ssh.$$",
    master_opts => [-o => "StrictHostKeyChecking=no"],
    timeout => 90,
    kill_ssh_on_timeout => 1,
    strict_mode => 0,
    master_stderr_discard => 0 # to suppres login screen
);
print ( "did ssh (".$ssh->error.")\n");

after 60 seconds I get the print and ssh->error = 0!

I'd expect an error.... Did I get something wrong?

Any hints are welcome
