No directory, logging in with HOME=/

# ps -fjlLunobody; lsof -u nobody
both show nothing. No lots of processes for me.
SC> Do you get it from the Linux console (emacs -nw)?
Yes, just tired it in emacs -nw -f shell and after 10 good logins I got a
bad one.
SC> Have you tried changing nobody's shell?
I don't want to.
CR> Does su do anything with process groups?
That is an advanced question not for little me.
