[erlang-questions] ssh remote user authorized_keys

Hello,

I’ve notice that Erlang SSH daemon do not expand the user_dir with the name of remote user, who tries to log-in. Thus a single instance of authorised_keys exist on the server for all users. Same time, there is undocumented user_dir_fun config option that takes a function which map remote user to its “home” folder.

The question is where is the bug? 

At documentation: http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/ssh.html user_dir_fun is not defined 

At ssh_file.erl: 

— CLIP —

ssh_dir({remoteuser, User}, Opts) ->
   case proplists:get_value(user_dir_fun, Opts) of
	undefined ->
	    case proplists:get_value(user_dir, Opts) of
		undefined ->
		    default_user_dir();
		Dir ->
		    Dir
	    end;
	FUN ->
	    FUN(User)
   end;

— CLIP —  

Best Regards, 
Dmitry
