HOME variable in init/init.c

[Asaf Kahlon]

Hello,

I would like to know why HOME was set to "/" at init/init.c (the comment
above the code just says "Make sure environs is set to something sane")?
I would expect it to be "/root" considering that USER has been set to
"root"...

It can lead to different behaviors when running a daemon process as init
script compared to run it manually (e.g with a Python script which runs
expanduser).

It would be nice if someone can explain why this value was chosen (or
whether it's OK to send a patch to change it).

Thanks!
