/.cshrc and /.profile

Hi,

Code:
ls -l /
-rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel      834 Apr 23 14:36 .cshrc
-rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel      260 Apr 23 14:41 .profile
...
They seems to be hardlinked to /root/.cshrc and /root/.profile, editing one change the other.

Why is there a .cshrc and a .profile in / ? Why the root ones ?

Thanks,
Tobé

Correct.

Historic reasons. Root's "home" directory used to be /.
