Is the prompt "Username" correct? It seems like = its getting stuck there not recieving the value you told it to expect.

Make sure your prompt matches.

IMHO= consider switching to SSH. I have found it just easier to work in. You sti= ll need to set the proper prompt. This is what mine looks like.

Hello all,
I'm getting stuck at the @password portion. This script will get into the Cisco ASA, but doesn't seem to enter in the password. Any help is greatly appreciated.

begin
=A0 session =3D Net::Telnet::new('Host' =3D> @hostname, 'Tim= eout' =3D> 10,
'Telnetmode' =3D> false, verbose: :debug)
=A0 session.waitfor('Prompt' =3D> /Username/)
=A0 session.cmd(@username) { |c| print c }
=A0 session.waitfor('Prompt' =3D> /Password/)
=A0 session.cmd(@password) { |c| print c }
=A0 session.waitfor(/>/)
=A0 session.cmd(@cmd + '\n') { |c| print c }
=A0 session.close

end

Debug output:
