Well, git-annex needs to know the user name, and the home directory. I've made it use USER, and HOME, when set, and only fall back to getpwent otherwise.
I think you mean the environment variables with "use USER, and HOME"? So I checked them I they are correct. Reading man(3) getpwent says "from the password database (e.g., the local password file /etc/passwd, NIS, and LDAP)", so it should be no problem with the LDAP backend I'm using to log-in... One other special thing: The home directory is on a NFS share.
