SSH looks in /etc/passwd for the user's home directory, I believe.  It
uses the mount table to know where /etc is actually located, as with any
Cygwin application.

Insert here the usual reminder that if you distribute a Cygwin binary
such as ssh you must also arrange means to distribute the full source
code required to build that binary, which includes the source to the
Cygwin DLL.  Pointing users to cygwin.com for source code is not
allowed.
