shouldn’t be a problem since ~/.ssh/config does not exist for that user and
known hosts are globally declared in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts (strace indicates
that guile-ssh/libssh reads that file).

If I stop the daemon and `guix pull` it just says “guix pull: error: failed to
connect to `/var/guix/daemon-socket/socket': Connection refused”. Something
similar should do. I don’t know whether that’s possible though.

Sure, that’s the only workaround I can think of right now.

Yes, /var/guix is shared via NFS too. Otherwise roaming between machines
wouldn’t work at all.

It is, it’s just a bug we have to fix :) Can I help you debug this somehow,
i.e. figure out where exactly the error message is coming from?
Cheers,
Lars
