During boot (stuff run from rc.local) the enviornment has HOME=/ After boot root logins have HOME=/root.
Seems like a bug to me... left over from the days when HOME for root was /. In my case I was trying to run some mysql commands which did not work because there was no /.my.cnf. After boot testing them did work because it looked at /root/.my.cnf Should the line in /etc/rc: HOME=/ change to: HOME=/root FreeBSD xxx.com 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #1: Mon Nov 10 04:05:00 EST 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/RUMBA i386 _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
