LART your admin :-) and be sure he/she corrects that to read the "real"
homedir instead... (well, you could just use / as your home, but I
guess your admin didn't give you rights to write stuff there...) All
the details in "man 5 passwd".
For obvious reasons, specifying your home dir from SSH client side upon
connection is not possible. Otherwise, a lot of public keys for the
root account would be lingerin' around in /tmp, I guess ;-)
