dop fails with message "this program does not run over a socket"

Good Morning All,

I've written a series of scripts that are designed to perform system
management tasks on our Tru64 servers from a central machine.

The scripts are triggered via command line ssh from the central machine,
ie ssh -l adminuser nodename "runme" .

Some of the scripts contain dop statements to allow them to run
privileged commands. The dop sections fail with the following error
message:

   "For security reasons, this program does not run over a socket."

Any idea how I can get around this or just stop it from happening?

The scripts work fine when run by hand on the local node, or when run
using ssh but still on the local node. I've written a heap of code
around this model expecting it would work and I'm not relishing the
thought of rewriting it all :(

Thanks for the help and sorry for such a trivial request, I need the
brains trust on this one.

Danielle
