PWD env variable for root
Post 13150 by Kelam_Magnus on Saturday 12th of January 2002 09:57:15 AM

I believe that the man page for "cd" says it all.
The variable $HOME controls where you go when you type "cd" <enter>. NOT the $PWD variable.
If you change the variable HOME to HOME=/root for instance, your new "home" directory for root will be "/root" not "/".
NAME
cd - change working directory
SYNOPSIS
cd [directory]
DESCRIPTION
If directory is not specified, the value of shell parameter HOME is
used as the new working directory. If directory specifies a complete
path starting with /, ., .., directory becomes the new working
directory. If neither case applies, cd tries to find the designated
directory relative to one of the paths specified by the CDPATH shell
variable. CDPATH has the same syntax as, and similar semantics to,
the PATH shell variable. cd must have execute (search) permission in directory.

shells
shells(4) File Formats shells(4) NAME
shells - shell database SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser- shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root. A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored. The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/pfcsh, /usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh. Note that /etc/shells overrides the default list. Invalid shells in /etc/shells may cause unexpected behavior (such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1)). FILES
