in reply to The problem about the module-"Net::telnet"

Oh dear...first of all, don't use telnet, it's insecure and exposes your password and data to anyone listening on the network. Any admin still allowing their users the use of telnet today oughta be fired on the spot IMO (except in the case of certain legacy OSes, of which HP-UX is not one, which don't support safe alternatives). Use ssh instead, it works on a myriad of platforms and is safe. Second, DON'T POST YOUR FREAKING USERNAME AND PASSWORD WITH IP-ADDRESS INCLUDED TO THE INTERNET FOR DOGSSAKE! I realise the IP is in RFC1918-space and thus not publicly addressable, but that doesn't mean the machine can't be reached by someone wanting to hack into it (especially when that someone is on or has access to the same network as you!).


All dogma is stupid.

    I agree but ...some old version of HP-UX will be definitely be legacy. I recall it is not so easy to find an sshd tarball even for 10.20 and compiling it is a nightmare even for HP-UX gurus; it is easier to take an 11.0 tarball and copy in /usr/lib (of the 10.20) all the required libs, not for the faint of the heart;)

    cheers --stephan

      Pushing 11.00 libs to 10.20 is screaming for problems. Most likely will not work.

      For OpenSSL/OpenSSH depots for 10.20 and 11.00 did you have a look at my site?


      Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
