In my experience, once your login shell has read its environment there is no harm in taking /home out, fiddling with it, and putting it back. Even logging in to a machine with home unmounted has the reasonalby minimal effect of putting you in / and giving you the bog standard environment (/etc/dot.cshrc or /etc/dot.profile). -- -- _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
