what am I doing wrong?
I thought that I can just go to /etc/passwd file and I can change
root:x:0:0:Super-User:/:/sbin/sh
to
root:x:0:0:Super-User:/root:/sbin/sh
and everything should be fine right?
well it works for most of the time but there is some werid thing about it. For
example I did notice that it does not work for everything. Let me explain. For
example I wanted to setup procmail with spamassasing etc, and it does complain
about the following directory: //.spamassassin/

but this is one example only, inmany ocassions I do get problems where it
thinks my home directory is // and not /root for some reason.
for example when I do env I get one of the paths like this
MAIL=/var/mail//root
it is so strange, why do I get home diir for root with // and not /root ?
What am I missing?
I did go trough all the profile files and I did tripple check it. It does drive
me crazy and I would love to get some suggestions.
Thanks.
