Gentlemen,

I am trying to propagate FR configurations from a single machine that interfaces with a WWW form. After my perl script writes the FR configuration file, I use this propagate function to write the configuation file to other hosts. I am using RSA keys to automate the authentication of scp, and when i use scp or ssh in an interactive session, I am authenticated without problem.

Code is posted below, but when it runs, I get this error in my /var/log/httpd/error_log:
Could not create directory '/var/www/.ssh'.
Host key verification failed.
lost connection

This is the offending code:

sub propagate {
        my $config_file = shift;
        my $addr;
        my %FR_servers = ( "XX.XX.XX.XX" => 0 );      # key: address o
+f FR servs val: sucess/fail

        ####### Begin Dumb Propagate Function #######
        foreach $addr (keys %FR_servers) {
                if( system("scp $config_file $addr:/usr/local/etc/radd
+b/") == 0 ){
                        $FR_servers{$addr} = 1;                 # mark
+ for user feedback
                        print "good<br>";
                        system("ssh $addr \"$reloadcmd\"");     # relo
+ad freeradius remotely
                } else { $FR_servers{$addr} = 0; print "bad<br>"; }
        }
        ####### Finish Dumb Propagate Function #######

        ####### Draw Propagate Results #######
        $query->header();
        foreach $addr (keys %FR_servers){

                print "$_       $FR_servers{$addr}<br>";
        }

}
