Subject: Don't change directory by default unless becoming root.
X-Git-Url: http://git.iain.cx/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b8a79a95206c8d61754a681c2e8f64b0dc52a907;p=profile.git

Don't change directory by default unless becoming root.

If the target user is not root require the -c flag to change back
to the directory from which become was launched.
