RE: ssh doesn't like $HOME


/etc/password contains info such as your home directory (Although setting
$HOME will override where $HOME is set in /etc/profile,) your shell if you
are logging in remotely (via ssh telnet etc,) it lets cygwin map guids to
usernames and probably lots more i dont know about.
