Request for TESTING: New ssh-host-config and ssh-user-config scripts

[Corinna Vinschen]

Hi,

I have made a change to ssh-user-config which should refuse
creating the user files when the /etc/passwd entry of the
user isn't ok.

Please, test it. I have attached both scripts again as
described in my original mail.
