hi

when you login linux pc  using wally account then cd ~ will go your home 
directory.
or env command you can check your home directory.
or 
#cat /etc/passwd |grep akhtars
akhtars:x:1163:1312:Akhtar Hussain Shah:/home/akhtars:/bin/bash

#cd ~


Best Regards
Akhtar

Subject: [LINUX_Newbies] where is $HOME set

            I am new to Linux and wondering where the variable $HOME is set. 



The reason I am asking is that there are currently two home 

directories: /home/wally and /homes/wally. And with env, it 

shows 'HOME=/homes/ wally' and 'OLDHOME=/home/ wally'



It really gets me confused, any help would be appreciated.
