Root User Home directory

Hello,

I just realised that the root user hasn't got a [fike]/home[/file] directory. Is that normal or just the way I must have installed FreeBSD on my server? How would you create one?

Thank you.

Fred
 
Code: 
/home/ole SCO#  cd ~
/root SCO#
What's wrong with that?
 
Normally the root user has his stuff under /root. This is because the home partition often is mounted over a network filesystem and in case of a crash is not available.

Even just on a simple machine, it makes sense to use a second hard drive for /home and that could fail or become unmounted. I've had that problem.
