Is this expected behaviour ? ssh + nfs weirdness ?
No, I don't think so.
I have seen quit a lot of things but nothing like this. I might imagine problems when _importing_ the home directory via NFS, since root permissions are not available and sshd tends to run as root (therefore sshd changes permissions during access to the $HOME/.ssh directory).
That should affect root_squash'd exports only if any. But AFAIK ssh runs pretty with NFS homes. A user needs to copy his idenity.pub into authorized_keys and can SSH to any machine that uses that NFS homes too.
[This does not cover the security implications of using NFS, that's another topic.]
Yep, by this you may "enable" ssh logins on hosts not meant for that, maybe some mailservers or so, but this would be a different thread ;) oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
