A SSH connection via putty works fine.
Turn off the PERL script and let Spotlight query Unix without PERL.
- Go to:
C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Spotlight\Plug-ins\DatasourceUNIX\
- Backup the file:
ScriptConfig.ini
- Open the file and change the lines below:
From:
;[ALL]
;SUA_PERL_BIN=/dev/null
To
[ALL]
SUA_PERL_BIN=/dev/null
- Restart Spotlight and try to connect
There are two key features using the PERL
1. PERL ensures the server connection to a compatible shell. (e.g. Spotlight does not work well with csh)
2. PERL also provides a more efficient usage of executing shell commands on the server.
The impact of not running PERL is not sufficiently significant for concern.
