Using the new AD system, and trying to regenerate ssh keys using ssh-user-config I find that I'm getting an error. I've traced the issue to a line in the /bin/ssh-user-config file: pwdhome=$(awk -F: '{ if ( $3 == '${uid}' ) print $6; }' < ${SYSCONFDIR}/passwd) where we are apparently trying

Found one interesting observation today after switching to the new AD authentication. My ability to use password-less login via SSH suddenly went missing. Although I haven't fully resolved it yet (which I suspect may take regeneration/proliferation of keys), it would appear that I've been the
