So you have to be root to run your bash script?


    case `sudo sinfp.pl -a -i${SNFILE[${HOS}]} -p 22 | grep IPv4 | awk
'{print $4}' | head -n1` in


What does sudo do if you're already root?


         echo "No Unix Fingerprint Found...doing one more check!"
        if [ "`sudo sinfp.pl -i${SNFILE[${HOS}]} -p 22 | grep IPv4 | awk
'{print $2}' | head -n1`" == "unknown" ]; then


What is that doing? Is it doing it locally?


    $SSHCMD ${SNFILE[${HOS}]} "echo -e $STR > /tmp/${SNFILE[${HOS}]}.sn
;$SUDO mv /tmp/${SNFILE[${HOS}]}.sn /etc/serialnumber; $SUDO chmod 660
/etc/serialnumber"


So this is our goal, right? To create /etc/serialnumber on the remote host?
Why does this work under bash? Do all your remote hosts have /root/.ssh/authorized_keys files set up to trust root coming from your local machine? 

... Maybe we'll get to a Perl question eventually ...  -grin-
