I am getting some error or warning messages from SSH. I think the
cause has to do with the fact it is a SSH-1.2.27 client talking to a
OpenSSH-1.2 sshd server. I believe the messages must be coming from
the client,

  Cannot find authentication socket /tmp/ssh-postman/ssh-7397-agent

They only seem to occur during an automated dump from the client to
the server, e.g.,

  dump -0ua /usr | ssh server dd of=usr_20000223.dmp

I have not been able to generate them during interactive sessions. I
was wondering if the lack of a tty associated with the session might
have something to do with the message.

Right now, I have not actually found any problems with the file
transfer. Could these errors be a sign of some trouble I have not yet
seen? Even if they are just an annoyance, it's be nice to get them out
of the atrun output. It clutters the logs. Anyone know how to get rid
of them (without doing something like '2> /dev/null' which might toss
out important error messages should they ever arise)?

Thanks.
