Description Siegbert Baude 2004-03-04 07:52:47 UTC

sux doesn't set the HOME environment variable, which breaks a lot of things or at least produces unwanted warnings.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sux
2. sux
3. echo $HOME

Actual Results:  
$ sux
Password:
bash-2.05b# echo $HOME

bash-2.05b#

Expected Results:  
Set  HOME=/root

This was already fixed in december, but -r1 wasn't marked stable until now. Thanks for the hint and sorry for any inconvenience.
