I have a trouble - the nfsen plugin runs with very reduced privileges.
for example in my plugin i make the ssh v2 connection to cisco,but it
due the limited run privs. give me a error - Plugin: Error while
running plugin 'xxx': Cannot open a pty at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/Net/SSH/Expect.pm line 120

Note: I need this to load command to cisco 2800 router (Version
12.4(13r)T, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) )

OS Freebsd 8.2

nfsen config's file part ( is standart from port):

# BASEDIR unrelated vars:
#
# Run nfcapd as this user
# This may be a different or the same uid than your web server.
# Note: This user must be in group $WWWGROUP, otherwise nfcapd
#       is not able to write data files!
$USER    = "www";

# user and group of the web server process
# All netflow processing will be done with this user
$WWWUSER  = "www";
$WWWGROUP = "www";

The running code is:

        my $ssh = Net::SSH::Expect->new(
            host => $host,
            password => $pass,
            user => $user,
            no_terminal => 1 #i also used the raw_pty ,no effect
            );

        my $s = $ssh->login();

        $ssh->exec("configure terminal");
#       $s = $ssh->read_line();
        syslog('info', " '$s' $s ");
        $ssh->exec("no ip access-list extended POLICY"); #line 120
        $ssh->exec("ip access-list extended POLICY");


Questions:
1.How i can fix this error?
2.I don't want to run nfsen under root , but how i can enlarge the www
user privileges,to avoid this situation (i also done some fix: adding
the shell for www user,adding home directories(to place the user ssh
files)  ) ?
