failure: authentication failure

[tslytsly]

Hi, Thanks for the video and this fun script. I'm trying to get it to work, and it seems that the ssh-exec trick doesn't work. I just get:

[admin@wireless-client] > system/ssh-exec 127.0.0.1 "interface print" 
failure: authentication failure

(I've tried with both 0.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.1)

[admin@wireless-client] > system/ssh-exec 0.0.0.0 "interface print" 
failure: authentication failure

It looks like the router needs me to login when running this command.

Loop nr 1

failure: authentication failure

Not sure how to resolve this?

I wrote the script on a router with no password, to make this work on a password protected device, all you need to do is set up an RSA key pair that the router can use when it does the ssh-exec to itself.

In the future when the RotuerOS :execute function gets a variable output option, it will be possible to replace this workaround with that function.
