    Hi,

    I'm calling exec() to make a SSH connection to one of my network's
    computer using execlp("ssh","ssh","compname",...,(char*)0), where the
    ... stands for further arguments one would pass to 'ssh'.
    The problem I'm getting is that about 40% of the time i make such a
    call, 'ssh' reports that "ssh: unknown host" as if it took the first
    argument argv[0] (which is usually the name of the executable) as the
    host I'm trying to connect to instead of using 'compname'.
    The weird thing is that it's not systematic and using
    execlp("ssh","compname",...,(char*)0) won't work.

    Any ideas?
    (I'm on Linux 2.6.8)

    Thanks in advance for any help
