Re^2: Net::SSH::Perl::Auth problem

OK, I don't think I understand how the module is authenticating.

After you generate an RSA key, the private key, locally, is in id_rsa. You put the public key down in authorized_keys on the remote system.

Is it the local identity file that I'm specifying in the call?....and the Net::SSH:Perl:Auth knows to try and authenticate to the authorized_keys file?

I'll check out the Net::OpenSSH module, but if you could elaborate, that'd be great

Thanks, Kyle

Is it the local identity file that I'm specifying in the call? Yes, and reading Net::SSH::Perl docs, it seems you have to use something like... `identity_files => ['/root/.ssh/id_rsa']` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
