That is good enough. However, in case that the $HOME is a shared
directory among several ssh servers, how to make different environment
settings for each of these servers?

You could run various commands from the user's shell-specific dotfiles
(e.g. ~/.bash_profile or ~/.login).  For example, in bash syntax:

  case $(uname -n) in
    host1) export FOO=bar1;;
    host2) export FOO=bar2;;
    ...
  esac

A lot depends on what you're doing with ssh.  If you're not using a
traditional Unix shell, then I don't have an answer for you.
