gnupg2 uses the same --homedir paths, $GNUPGHOME env var, native Windows reg key, and native Windows portable apps homedir as gnupg1. > Just guessing: Some software does not look in $HOME for config files (e.g. > openssh) but expects them in /home/... OpenSSH expects user config files in ~/.ssh/ where ~ is $HOME, or the home directory from "getent passwd $LOGNAME", which defaults to /. They'd better expect $HOME, not /home/$LOGNAME, as $HOME could also be /u/$LOGNAME, /mnt/nfs/OrkeyDorkey, or /mnt/Network\ Users/Orkey\ Dorkey! ;^> -- Take care.
