Hello everybody,

I seem to have an issue with maemo and root's .profile file.

First I've added an alias in the user's .profile :
alias ll='ls -la'

Saved the file and closed the ssh connection. Upon the next ssh connection (or after opening a new terminal window) the ll command outputted what ls -la would have, so it's working.

Doing the same thing with /root/.profile doesn't work (it displays : /bin/sh: ll: not found).
I have to mention that I don't use ssh for root, I rather ssh with user and use the sudo gainroot command. Is it why it doesn't work?

I also noticed "mesg n" in /root/.profile : what is it for?

Also when being root and doing a simple cd command without any argument, it sends me to /home/user. Shouldn't it send me to /root, as that should be root's home directory. Could this be the issue (/root/.profile isn't sourced because /root is not root's home)?

How to fix it (source /root/.profile when connected as root, to have aliases available)?
