We tried setting up an ssh account on an Haiku computer so I could run a distcc slave there, and the home directory for the user is not taken into account (whatever you put in /etc/passwd, the shell starts in /boot/home). This makes it impossible to have a different .profile (or any settings, actually) for each user. In distcc case, when running through ssh, I want to set the PATH there so the right compiler is found, and I don't want to mess with the main user account profile. -- Adrien.
