sshtunnel: host verification failure

[supersonic-copycat]

Package Name

sshtunnel

Maintainer

@nunojpg

OpenWrt Version

25.12.4

OpenWrt Target/Subtarget

mediatek/filogic

Steps to Reproduce

1. install sshtunnel, config a server
2. use dropbear as ssh implementation
3. enable StrictHostKeyChecking
4. put correct hostkey to /root/.ssh/known_hosts
5. run service sshtunnel restart

Actual Behaviour

Connection won't be established with error Host '%server_address%' key unknown
If you take exact command that is run by procd (by print it to log) and run it by hand from root, everything works fine

Seems, like dropbear searches for known_hosts relative to $HOME, but $HOME is / when run as service and /root when run manually.

Confirmation Checklist

• The package is maintained in this repository.
• I understand that issues related to the base OpenWrt repository or LuCI repository will be closed.
• I am reporting an issue for OpenWrt, not an unsupported fork.
