Then shouldn't it be in /root instead of /?

I mounted a linux proc file system. It doesn't have the pwd file that 
you mentioned was present in a Linux OS, but it did have a status file. 
In both cases, the UID number was the number associated with whatever 
account was named in the IMAP login. 
	1 login <account name> <password>
In neither case was it UID 0.

BTW, I've got to hand it to Torvalds; the Linux status file is cooler 
than the BSD status file. Much easier to understand.

I haven't a clue. It's all Finnish to me, Timo. :) 
You're the one who knows what he's doing. I just follow orders.
