in reply to Net::OpenSSH key authentication

id_rsa and id_rsa.pub now even with 777

ssh(1) will definitely fail if id_rsa is not 600 or 400. (man page says: "ssh will simply ignore a private key file if it is accessible by others.") That applies to this module as well since it uses ssh under the hood.

Re^2: Net::OpenSSH key authentication

    Hi, Thanks for your help. You're right what I thought but I didn't know how to check it. Script looked for the keys in wrong directory. And script given by salva showed me what directory it should be. From some reason it looked files in directory /var/www/scripts/ not /var/www/scripts/new/ even if everything happens in /var/www/scripts/new and $ENV{HOME} is set to /var/www/scripts/new too. Weird. Thank you for help again. Regards, Jarek
      Hi everyone, i'm trying to use key authentication using Net::OpenSSH. can someone please help me to understand the issue with my script
      use Net::OpenSSH; use warnings; my $path = "/export/home/tenfold2/.ssh/"; $Net::OpenSSH::debug |= 16; my $t = Net::OpenSSH->new('ildep@sxm0019', master_opts => [-o => "U +serKnownHostsFile=/dev/null", -o => "StrictHostKeyChecking=no"], time +out => 10, ctl_dir => $path); $t->error and SendMail "unable to connect to remote host: ". $t->err +or; my $cmd = "ls -l";
      When i run the script it gives below message:
