`/tmp/ssh-<username>' directories' mode is 0700.
When I installed ssh-1.2.27 to Solaris 2.4(SPARC) and HP-UX 9.03, I
encountered the same error message which you encountered. `/tmp'
directory's mode was 0777.
After I did `chmod 1777 /tmp' (I added the sticky bit to `/tmp')
(*NOT* /tmp/ssh-<username>), I could avoid the error message.
I'm sorry I could not help you.
