openssh and ~


I am having a strange problem with ssh.  It appears that it is expanding the
home directory part of various path specs.  I.e., ~ is mapping to an empty
string.  In order for me to connect to another maching, I have to put
specific configuration files in /.ssh rather than ~/.ssh.  Additionally,
when I run "ssh -v" I get a message "debug: key does not exist:
/.ssh/id_rsa".  But /etc/ssh_config has the line "IdentityFile
~/.ssh/id_rsa".

I'm running on NT 4sp6A.  Relevant environment variables are:

HOME=/home/k02189
CYGWIN= (also tried w/ CYGWIN=ntsec -- no difference)

In order to get ssh to work, I have to add (either to /etc/ssh_config or the
specific connection in /.ssh/config) "IdentityFile
/home/k02189/.ssh/id_rsa".  Any ideas?
