Anyone care to write a perl script that can use Net::SSH::Perl to ask for a password and passphrase then use Net::SSH::Perl to use the password function for the initial login and the passphrase to create a key on the server with a passphrase. This is for open SSH version 2 using des3. The advantage to this is one could set up secure shell keys on a large number of servers in a from a host list in a few minutes versus hours and hours. I am pretty sure it can be done. I have seen it done in KSH but it lacks the password answering and passphrase answering. Expect is not a very secure way to fix that which is why I am looking at using this module. Thanks looking forward to replies
