Re: HOME directory has somehow been overridden

Greetings, Soumya Roy!

Just to give the last few lines of my /etc/passwd file:-
/home/SUPPORT_388945a0:/bin/bash
VALNT:unused:1003:513:U-SMEI-EC058E66\VALNT,S-1-5-21-1614895754-178822364\
8-725345543-1003:/home/VALNT:/bin/bash
My only question: Why you're doing this?
Isn't your profile directory is a logical location for your $HOME?
Other than that, check all settings that may affect it.
Environment variable, as suggested, being one of them.
My logical location for my $HOME is usually off on some filter, where it's the $HOME for Windows and the $HOME for Unix/Linux. I could care less about [C:\Documents and Settings|C:\Users]\$USERNAME.
