Subject: | Validate the SSH binary is good enough |
For reasons I don't entirely understand, although Net::OpenSSH passes
tests and installs cleanly it doesn't work when used as documented in
the synopsis.
I have a version that does not implement the -M flag, which is
critically needed for Dackup.
It might be a good idea to put a test for the flag in either the
Makefile.PL or in the test suite.
I ultimately solved the problem for myself by uninstalling the default
Debian "ssh" and installing a newer replacement OpenSSH version that
contained a -M implementation.
