$HOME changed from 6.2 to 6.3 and 7.0 ?!

[Thomas Krause]

Dear list,

after upgrading from 6.2R to 6.3R my daily jobs, which are normaly
executed from /etc/daily.local, are not longer started.
The entry in daily.local is
$HOME/bin/save-conf.sh
6.2R executed /root/bin/save-conf.sh
6.3R (and 7.0R) tries to start /var/log/bin/save-conf.bin

Why? I cannot find such a homedir in /etc/passwd!

Regards,
Thomas.
