Debian CGI script using ssh
Hi Friends,

I am using a cgi script which calls a shell script internally. Now, I want to change it with ssh (without password). Can you please help?




Code:
Code:
cat maininfo.cgi

#!/usr/bin/perl -w 
use Net::Telnet ();
use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);
my $name = param('getvalue');
$t = new Net::Telnet(Timeout=>20,Prompt=>"/.*>/");
$t->open("172.24.13.130");
$t->login("root","xxxxxxxx");
my $subinfo=$t->cmd("/bin/getinfo.sh $name");
print qq~

Please wrap all code, files, input & output/errors in CODE tags.
It makes it far easier to read and preserves spaces for indenting or fixed width data.

If you arrange proper ssh keys for noninteractive logins, your program becomes as simple as:

Code:
my $subinfo=`/usr/sbin/ssh -i /path/to/identityfile username@172.24.13.130 /bin/getinfo.sh $name`;

...

You use keys like this, with minor differences -- the -i is because your CGI script isn't an interactive login and likely has no home folder to find ~/.ssh/ in. You'll have to pick your own place to put it -- preferably someplace apache itself refuses to touch (which won't stop your perl script or ssh from getting it).

The identity file itself should belong to apache:apache (or whatever user/group your webserver uses) and be set 0400. The folder should also belong to your webhost user/group and be set 0700.
