Since Expect needs to either spawn a program or access a FH,
Net::SSH::Perl no longer suited my needs. I started to look into
spawning SSH from Net::Telnet, then using Expect on the Net::Telnet
object.
After looking at the man page for Net::Telnet, I found the SSH
example. I copied and pasted exactly how it is and it was impossible
to get it to work. It would connect to the remote server, but the
program could never get the password prompt. It would see the
permission denied messages, but NOT the password prompt. After some
more reading tonight I discovered that, for security reasons, SSH
writes to the controlling TTY, but with the Net::Telnet SSH example it
should work as it is creating a PTY to do just that.

Anyway, I did some more researching and found this excellent resource:

http://www.modperl.com/perl_networking/sample/ch6.html

Once again, I copied and pasted the code exactly as it is there, ran
it and same problem. It can't see the password prompt that the SSH
program is sending to the TTY!

I'm pretty damn sure it is the fact that SSH is sending the password
prompt to the TTY and  Perl's PTY is not receiving it. Why? I don't
know !!


Could it be because the ssh password prompt is being written to  
standard error, rather than standard output?

I know, but imagine asking a server admin in a company where there are
lots of policies, bla bla, if I can have a passwordless login on an
account with special sudo privileges :)



I usually think that people who suggest what I'm going to suggest are
unrealistic puristic psychos, but still:
QUIT.

Using private/public keys instead of passwords should enhance security, not
the other way around - if this account can do sudo then it is security's
interest to force it to use keys and forbid use of passwords to login.

If I'd find myself work for a place which can't comprehend this - I'd try to
convince them or move on.

Cheers,

Yeah, they're pretty annoying. Spam assassin (local) doesn't seem to handle it 
too well.

It doesn't even get close. Maybe that's how they're getting on this list?

Well, Net::SSH might not be able to, but Net::Telnet should be able to
by creating the pseudo controlling terminal as the manpage clearly
states (with an example and all) but for some reason the PTY is not
catching the password prompt.

Thanks for your reply.

In short, after more discussion with Ashley, I've realised that that dialog
doesn't help. As Ashley said, it lets you change existing mappings but not
add new ones; and the dialog Firefox presents merely tells you what app 
it's

about to use, it doesn't allow you to choose anything.

I'm stuck, anyone else got ideas?

Re: [SLUG] Perl/SSH Problem

2006-11-03 Thread Scott Ragen
Why Choose not to use ssh keys.
The default is to both allow passwords, and/or keys.
You don't need root access to create a passwordless login (providing the 
admin's haven't explicitly changed the default).
All you do on your mail machine is use ssh-keygen to generate the key you 
want, put the private key in ~/.ssh/ (the name depends on what type of key 
you made, man ssh-keygen for details. Then put the public keys on the ssh 
servers in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

That should basically be it.

Now the reason I suggested that is Net::SSH (Which cannot use passwords 
for login) uses Filehandles for reading and writing, so expect should 
"just work"(tm).

Scott
