Description

We currently use getent module to get information about home directory of the remote user.

skelly ​notes that it's possible to use ~user instead.

Test the functionality and get rid of getent.

~user appears to work in some cases. The expanduser filter will expand it always. Simple testing has something working so going to try replacing each getent use and test to make sure it keeps working.
