Hi,

I need someone else who is experiencing this problem, and who
has not tried to edit the setting above, to tell me what the home
directory is given as in the row for root in System->Administration
->Users and Groups.

If that is indeed /home/root then we need to work out how it became
that way.

I have looked further in to it and the text box in the Properties
says /home/root as that is just a default, it doesn't mean that
is what the real home directory is.

Thanks,

James
