Net::SSH::Perl security question

We have a need to allow users to submit a job through a web server
(front end machine) to run on back end cluster machines. I made use of
Net::SSH::Perl in a CGI program to realize this. One thing I notice
is that the CGI program requires a "/.ssh/known_hosts2" at the top
path of the file system on the front end machine where Apache is
running. I wonder does this potentially compromise any security on the
system? Need expert advice ...

Thanks in advance!
