Hi, Lars, I might try tomorrow, though I seem to understand that you want to 
truss the X logon. It does work, and I guess it reads HOME from /etc/passwd.

When I run an xterm, env is perfectly well and okay. But also, it is vastly 
different from real console. The problem of the strange HOME only shows on 
console.
It is my uneducated guess, that the problem creeps up elsewhere, before dtlogin 
can do a proper job.
Meaning, I should revert to /root for 'root' (hoping it will still die as it 
did), chmod 744 /root to confirm that it is a permission problem, and (if it 
is) truss the console login instead!?

Don't forget that I made two changes in that first line of passwd:
1. HOME of 'root'
2. default shell for root

The double-blind test would be if you swapped in my old first line for root, 
mkdir /root, chown root /root, chmod 700 /root, maybe rebooted, and checked how 
your fresh install handles the matter. If everything was okay, we'd have to 
assume cruft of the previous installs (70, 78) in my box. 

Correct?

Uwe
