[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] busybox, sh and $HOME

Ok, maybe it's me, but this thing is driving me nut!
I have in my /etc/passwd:

user:XXXXXXXXXXXX:29999:29999::/media/mmc3/user:/bin/sh

which is supposed to make /media/mmc3/user the home for user. And unless
I'me a complete demented, that should be ok.

Now, if I ssh from outside and do

echo $HOME

I get the correct response: /media/mmc3/user

but if I try from inside Xterm on  N800 the result is...

/home/user

!!!

Am I wrong, is it normal?!

DOH!
