No biggie. There is nothing really magical about /root, the only major difference it has from a normal home directory is the .cshrc includes the annoying "don't log in a root" line. Just recreate the directory, copy over the system dot files (dot.cshrc dot.profile, etc...) and you should be fine. -- _ _ _ ___ ____ ___ ______________________________________ / \/ \ | ||_ _|| _ \|___| | Jason Andresen -- jandrese@mitre.org / /\/\ \ | | | | | |/ /|_|_ | Views expressed may not reflect those /_/ \_\|_| |_| |_|\_\|___| | of the Mitre Corporation.
