Hello all,

in our systems created with buildroot the ENV-Variable HOME for user
root is /:

# env
USER=root
HOME=/

This leads to files and directories that are normally located in /root
to be located in the root directory:

# ls -la
drwxr-xr-x   22 root     root           500 Mar 24 19:54 .
drwxr-xr-x   22 root     root           500 Mar 24 19:54 ..

dr-xr-xr-x   13 root     root             0 Mar 24 19:52 sys
drwxrwxrwt    3 root     root           100 Mar 25 11:30 tmp
drwxr-xr-x    8 root     root           160 Mar 24 19:52 usr
drwxr-xr-x    9 root     root           220 Mar 24 19:53 var

I have looked around busbox (and buildroot) configuration but did not
find a setting to change this. What did I overlook?

Greetings
Harvey
