 Q: How do you supply a password to connect with ssh within a perl script
 using the Net::SSH module?
 
-A: You don't.  Use RSA or DSA keys.  See the ssh-keygen(1) manpage.

+Type:

+
+And do not enter a passphrase unless you wanted to be prompted for
+one during file copying.
+
+Here is what you will see:
+

+   Generating public/private rsa key pair.
+   Enter file in which to save the key (/home/User/.ssh/id_rsa):
+   Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):

+   Enter same passphrase again:
+
+   Your identification has been saved in /home/User/.ssh/id_rsa.
+   Your public key has been saved in /home/User/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
+   The key fingerprint is:
+   5a:cd:2b:0a:cd:d9:15:85:26:79:40:0c:55:2a:f4:23 User@JEFF-CPU

+C<id_rsa.pub> is your public key. Copy it to C<~/.ssh> on target machine.
+
+Put a copy of the public key file on each machine you want to log into.
+Name the copy C<authorized_keys> (some implementations name this file
+C<authorized_keys2>)
+
+Then type:
+
+     chmod 600 authorized_keys
+
+Then make sure your home dir on the remote machine is not group or
+world writeable.

 Ivan Kohler <ivan-netscp_pod@420.am>
 
+Assistance wanted - this module could really use a maintainer with enough time
+to at least review and apply more patches.  Or the module should just be
+deprecated in favor of Net::SFTP::Expect or Net::SFTP::Foreign and made into a
+simple compatiblity wrapper.  Please email Ivan if you are interested in
+helping.
