This depends on the shell (i.e. in bash/pdksh, a pwd without arguments
lists the logical path, not the physical), and also happens when using
amd for home directories, but have yet to experience any problems with
this.

And about test -d /home/foobar failing: It's no problem to always add /.
for -d tests, i.e. test -d /home/foobar/. The dot-directory is
documented to always exist - at least in MiNT, but I'm quite sure this
applies to Unices as well.


Ciao
