ssh assumes /home/$USER beeing the home directory and looks for keys and
known_host under /home/$USER/.ssh!
In my opinion it should try to read the $HOME variable and only after that start
guessing.

All the tools use the home directory specified in the user's passwd file entry,
they certainly don't "guess". I don't think that this will change.

Change all RESOLVED bug to CLOSED with the exception of the ones fixed post-4.4.
