ssh client uses pw->pw_dir, but should use $HOME for config and other files
Hi, the manual says that ssh-clients (ssh, ssh-add,...) uses $BASE/.ssh/identity, $BASE/.ssh/known_hosts, $BASE/.ssh/config, where $BASE is $HOME. But Binaries and Source-Code do it with $BASE set to the homedir entry of getpwent(). Since in some (okay rare) cases it is needed to place these files in $HOME, it would be nice to fix it. If there is a diff needed, tell me, i send one. Greetings, Olli
