Can the home directory for the BPXROOT user be changed?  This might work, but of
course it may have undesirable effects for installed software, etc.

Paul, is it necessary to have the SSH client run under a root user?  Perhaps you
need to set up a non-root user with the required privilege, and ensure the home
directory is correctly set on that user.

Also, regarding the change you made to the Protocol value in the ssh_config
file: understand that if you changed the ssh_config in /etc/ssh this will
prevent all users from connecting using the version 2 protocol to those SSH
servers that support it.  Consider using \"Protocol 2,1\", which means that
version 2 will be used if available but version 1 will be used if not.  Many
folk still consider version 2 to be more secure than version 1, even though
up-to-date SSH implementations have the holes in version 1 covered.

Cheers,
Vic Cross
