            Bug ID: 238120
           Summary: cron(8) doesn't set the HOME environment variable to
                    users's home directory when command runs under regular
                    user
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.0-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
          Reporter: y...@freebsd.org

When crontab contains
> 10     *       *       *       *         yuri     env DISPLAY=:0.0 
> /usr/local/bin/bash /path/to/some/script

this script is run by cron(8) with HOME=/var/log

Once the field "who" in crontab is set to some user, cron(8) should also set
the "HOME" environment variable properly.

HOME=/var/log looks wrong in any case.

(Not sure if "root" also suffers from this problem.)
