[Bug 365] New: .ssh/environment not read when home = /
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365
Summary: .ssh/environment not read when home = /
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: -current
Platform: ix86
OS/Version: Cygwin on NT/2k
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: sshd
AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
ReportedBy: bradshaw at staff.crosswalk.com
Under the cygwin environment, when the user sets their home directory to root
the .ssh/environment file isn't read in properly. This is similar to past
pathing problems in OpenSSH where the path that is assembled to find the file
begins with two slashes, instead of one. Under Cygwin this indicates a network
share, not the root of the file system.
The attached path merely checks to see if home = / and, if so, doesn't use
it
when assembling the path to .ssh/environment.
