After double checking the source code I can think of only one chance:
Your /etc/passwd file doesn't contain the correct home dir.
Reasoning:
- OpenSSH _always_ uses pw_dir from the users /etc/passwd file,
_never_ the environment variable $HOME.
- Your environment contains the following values:
$HOMEDRIVE=C:
$HOMEDIR=\
This are the values which are a typical sign for having
no home directory set in NT's SAM.
- The NT SAM user entry is used by mkpasswd to create your
pw_dir entry as well. An empty hoemdir in the SAM results
in an empty pw_dir entry in /etc/passwd.
- sprintf("%s/.ssh/config", pw->pw_dir) results in
"/.ssh/config" then.
Hope, that helps,
Corinna
