oh, but they are in /root # sudo ls -il /.profile /root/.profile 125 -rw-r--r-- 2 root wheel 283 Mar 19 23:44 /.profile 125 -rw-r--r-- 2 root wheel 283 Mar 19 23:44 /root/.profile > But it would be great if somebody (who knows the exact reason) would > tellme what these files are for. single user mode. init invokes sh, right? sh tries to read $HOME/.profile, but since you didn't log in, you don't have $HOME, so sh really reads /.profile. same thing was true when root's shell was csh. -- GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
