Net::SSH::Perl remoteinteract.pl Problem

[jrt409]

Hello
Im trying to get the example remoteinteract.pl script working on
Solaris 10. It seems as if the handlers are not actually picking up the
output of the passwd command. Any idea why?

Thanks in advance for any reply's.

When run with debug flags turned on i get....

Maybe you want to take a look at what output it is "picking up".

Hi,

From my very limited understanding of the module, it appears that each

handler should send packets or some kinda response as stdin when its
picks up a predefined string from stderr/stdout. Ive checked and double
checked the output from the "passwd root" command on Solaris and its
matches exactly to what i have defined in the script. Ive also adjusted
the script to pickup stdout as opposed to stderr with no luck. Any help
would be much appreciated.
