I'm always using the emulated >passwd code. That's another story, not covered by the current discussion. When there is no /etc/passwd, internal_getlogin sees the emulated passwd, with a home field. That field is initialized from HOME if present, else it defaults to / . One could argue that it should consider HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH as well on NT/2000/XP, but that would change the behavior and why change it if users are happy? Pierre
