You must be using a domain login.  According to the domain, your
home is "H:".  If you want to override that, you can simply edit
'/etc/passwd' to point to a local home directory.  Or you can
create a new '/etc/passwd' by running 'mkpasswd -l >/etc/passwd'
followed by
'mkpasswd -d -u <username> -p <local home directory> >/etc/passwd'.

See 'man mkpasswd' for more details and options.
