I’m trying to use Perl to develop some scripts. The script use the Net::SSH::Perl module to establish a SSH connect.

Unluckily, I fail to do that. It raised an error prompt, say

‘No hostkey algorithm!’ and return silently. I’m a new hand at Perl script. Could you do me a favor to help me resolve this issue? Thank you in advance.

Below are something I dumped from my Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LST.

1, Net::SSH::Perl v2 was installed

james@trail:~/perl$ perldoc -lm Net::SSH::Perl /usr/local/lib/i386-linux-gnu/perl/5.22.1/Net/SSH/Perl.pm james@trail:~/perl$ james@trail:~/perl$

2. report No hostkey algorithm! While executing the script connecting a device.

james@trail:~/perl$ perl ssh.pl

trail: Reading configuration data /home/james/.ssh/config

trail: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config

trail: Connecting to 172.27.90.48, port 22.

trail: Remote version string: SSH-2.0-ConfD-5.3.6

trail: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version ConfD-5.3.6

trail: Net::SSH::Perl Version 2.01, protocol version 2.0.

trail: No compat match: ConfD-5.3.6.

trail: Connection established.

trail: Sent key-exchange init (KEXINIT), waiting for response.

trail: Using diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256 for key exchange

No hostkey algorithm! CLIENT: ssh-ed25519,rsa-sha2-512,rsa-sha2-256,ssh-rsa SERVER ssh-dss at /usr/local/lib/i386-linux-gnu/perl/5.22.1/Net/SSH/Perl/SSH2.pm line 118.

3. I’ve add a HostkeyAlgorithms ssh-dss in ssh config

james@trail:~/perl$ cat ~/.ssh/config HostkeyAlgorithms ssh-dss #HostkeyAlgorithms ssh-ed25519 #HostkeyAlgorithms ssh-rsa

4. here is script james@trail:~/perl$ cat ssh.pl

use Net::SSH::Perl;
#use Net::SSH::Perl::Auth;
my $host='172.27.90.48';
my $user='admin';
my $passwd='admin';
my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($host,port=>22,debug=>1);
$ssh->login($user,$passwd);
my ($stdout,$stderr,$exit) = $ssh->cmd("date");
$ssh->cmd("exit");
if($stderr){
print "ErrorCode:$exit\n";
print "ErrorMsg:$stderr";
} else {
print $stdout;
}
exit $exit;
james@trail:~/perl$
