Hi, I am using the Net::OpenSSH module to write a Perl script that can copy a file from a Windows 2003 server to a Solaris 10 server. The Perl script runs on the Solaris machine and tries to open an SSH connection like this: 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use Net::OpenSSH;
my $remoteserver='nms4';
my $remoteuser='tftp';
my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new('$remotehost', user => '$remoteuser', stri
+ct_mode => 0);

[download]
I need 'strict_mode => 0' due to permissions set on the higher-level directories, however I always get the same error whether I use 0 or 1: 
Couldn't establish SSH connection: ctl_dir /home/tftp/.libnet-openssh-
+perl/ is not secure at /usr/local/bin/engsql01_backup line 36

[download]
The permissions on .libnet-openssh-perl are set to 0700 and that directory is owned by the user running the script: 
drwx------   2 tftp     nobody       512 Jun 29 14:15 /home/tftp/.libn
+et-openssh-perl

[download]

Can anyone give me a pointer in the right direction on how to fix this?
