- From my experience (without reading the source) this is not exactly
true. If the /etc/passwd file exists it is used, but if it does not
exist, the $HOME is used. You can check it by using the -v (debug
switch) for ssh:
    OpenSSH_3.6.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090701f
    debug1: Reading configuration data <config path>
