Hi,
I have my $HOME path setup as /cygdrive/c/Users (using Windows 7)
however ssh doesn't seem to honour that. When I fire up ssh, I get:
Could not create directory '/home/csutclif/.ssh'.
Why is it defaulting to /home? Is there a way to configure ssh to
point to the $HOME path? I have a .ssh directory with my private key
in /cygdrive/c/Users/csutlif.
Thanks,
Chris
You need to configure your home directory using the db_home setting in
/etc/nsswitch.conf.
