Description Marc Morgan CLA 2006-10-10 17:30:05 EDT 
On Linux (Red Hat Enterprise 3), the value of @user.home is the home directory of $USER instead of being $HOME; that is, it does not take into account changes to the $HOME environment variable. This is a problem for us because we change the $HOME when we newgrp into a user's non-principal group.
Comment 1 John Arthorne CLA 2007-03-14 12:19:53 EDT 
The user.home environment variable is provided by the Java VM.
