My guess is that this is not meant for systems you'd ssh into. That this particular feature is designed specifically for use on laptops.

It's a good guess. The first sentence of Lennart answer to this question is :

> Well. Homed is intended primarily for client machines, i.e. laptops and thus machines you typically ssh from a lot more than ssh to if you follow what i mean.

andrerm left it out of his quote. He also left this part out. It's about openssh and pam :

> Maybe they solve this eventually but lets see. In the meantime you at least get a friendly msg explaining the situation briefly and what to do.

That he doesn't use it is his problem. I run sshd on all my laptops and regularly ssh into a machine in another room.

It's only a problem if you want to use an encrypted home and ssh into your laptop while not logged locally.

I mean, no one likes the current situation but it was deemed an acceptable trade off considering there is a work around.
