Description Mark Bradshaw 2002-07-19 23:00:54 AEST

Under the cygwin environment, when the user sets their home directory to root 
the .ssh/environment file isn't read in properly.  This is similar to past 
pathing problems in OpenSSH where the path that is assembled to find the file 
begins with two slashes, instead of one.  Under Cygwin this indicates a network 
share, not the root of the file system.

The attached path merely checks to see if home = / and, if so, doesn't use it 
when assembling the path to .ssh/environment.
