Please, try to avoid that. If the mail doesn't show up in the
mailing list after a serious amount of time, say an hour or so,
you can mail it to me, ok?

Huh? That's a shell, no home directory. The home directory is the
field before the shell.

Shouldn't. sshd uses only the entry in /etc/passwd.

You started ssh-config once, so .ssh (a directory) should exist.
At least when you started ssh-config as john1.
You know what I mean by ~administrator? It's the home of the user
administrator. In you case it's the home of user john1.
