Hi, you should check the settings on the SSH host you are trying to connect to. Usually its in /etc/ssh. For security reasons, many ssh servers disable root login, and many disable password logins, to force you to use keys. Read your ISP's HELP on ssh connections, or if you are in full control of the server, check out the settings in your ssh config files for the login types allowed. Your error message "Can't get $ssh2->check_hostkey to work" may be due to the fact that you don't have your keys setup properly. See setting up host keys
