Sure, that is my 'invention', with /root for root. And I don't see anything wrong at that.
Everything worked in nv70 and 78, as it is, (I only upgraded) and - yes - I have read passwd(4) and login(1) and now I hope for some way to go back to my desktop, because that's my desktop at work. [i]So Im afraid that whatever the problem is you have caused it yourself by changing the root account homedirectory or /etc/password or /etc/profile or similar [/i] 'caused yourself' is a bit harsh, it did work for 70 and 78, introducing /root is Unix practice and - following the man pages as cited - HOME should be defined as written down in /etc/passwd. At least, it doesn't do the latter, when it defaults to /root for whichever user. Yes, /root is defined HOME for root in passwd. But that should - according to the man pages - not affect other users. The only change I did was changing HOME for root in passwd, I haven't touched /etc/profile or similar. Please, if any of what I write here is wrong, correct me. Maybe you can help me at getting back my desktop, you know much more than me. I am still a newbie on Solaris, and the '/root' was done on suggestion from blastwave (for mplayer, pan). For the rest it is pretty much standard SXDE+nv78+nv81.
