Actually, I just wondered something. If a daemon crashes, and a
sysadmin restarts it, could it potentially inherit his $HOME environment
variable? It's probably not a good idea to depend on $HOME in daemon
programs.
Indeed; in older Solaris releases and you restarted (kill -TERM/KILL)
inetd will just pass the administrators environment and some daemon
were confused (particularly telnetd). Modern Solaris doesn't have that
issue as all daemons are started through an intermediate process.
