wiltedwalls: This bug is a problem because commands which as ssh refer to files/directories in the HOME directory, and HOME is not properly set |

jow-: You should not rely on user specific environment variables during system init. If you need access to such variables, you must explicitly declare them. Quoting POSIX spec:
Since during system init no user is logged in, providing a user specific environment would be wrong. Reference: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap08.html |

/etc/init.d scripts run as root, which is reflected in the ownership of files created by the scripts. But the environment does NOT have the correct USER=root and HOME=/root
The whole env at runtime is
SHLVL=1
HOME=/
TERM=linux
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
PWD=/
I see this on two different model TP Link routers running Openwrt 18.06.1
