I know you've already gotten an answer to this but just to let you know we
typically move root's home to /root on all our UNIX servers including
HP-UX, AIX, and Solaris. No problems, in fact it a good idea to get root's
junk out of /.

Hi,
Under HP-UX, be default, the root homedir is "/". It's possible to change
to
"/root" (like Linux)? Any risk of security?

TIA,
