The FSSTND merely states that this is the recommended location for
|
||||||
|
the home directory of 'root'. It is left up to the end user to determine
|
||||||
|
the home directory of 'root'. However, the FSSTND also says that:

If the home directory of the root account is not stored on the root
|
||||||
|
partition it will be necessary to make certain it will default to
|
||||||
|
/ if it can not be located.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We recommend against using the root account for tasks that can be
|
||||||
|
performed as an unprivileged user, and that it be used solely for
|
||||||
|
system administration. For this reason, we recommend that subdirectories
|
||||||
|
for mail and other applications not appear in the root account’s home
|
||||||
|
directory, and that mail for administration roles such as root, postmaster,
|
||||||
|
and webmaster be forwarded to an appropriate user.
