Do you have pageant.exe running? Have you told it about your id_rsa key?

Alas, there isn't a mailing list for net-ssh (yet, though the volume of requests is rising and I might create one soon). For now, just email me directly with the output of your script when debugging is enabled:

Net::SSH.start("172.25.150.31", "administrator", :verbose => :debug) do |ssh|

I've got a Net::SSH question but I can't seem to find the Net::SSH

We're talking v2 here and on Windows. The following code will not prompt
for a password, it will actually fail with an authentication error

Net::SSH.start("172.25.150.31", "administrator"
) do |ssh|
   result = ssh.exec!("ls")
   puts result
end
c:/dev/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/net-ssh-2.0.1/lib/net/ssh.rb:195:in
`start': administrator (Net::SSH::AuthenticationFailed).

How can I get the password prompt in this case?

Also, even if I set :password=>"actualpassword" I still get the
authentication failure.

Now, that account is set for passwordless login, but 2.0.1 still doesn't
find the id_rsa keys (adding :keys=>["blabla"] with the paths lets it
find them). That's not a problem, I just want to know if it's supposed
to be like that.
The id_rsa keys are stored in Documents and Settings/username/.ssh and
Capistrano (2.3.0) finds them fine
Thanks for the OT tolerance (and a link to the Net::SSH mailing list
would be greatly appreciated)
