zsh does not start in $HOME



Hello!

We are currently migrating from NIS to LDAP and have therefore both
services running. To distinguish between them, LDAP accounts have their
home directory set to /ldaphome/username.

This works with bash, but every time we start a zsh, the user's pwd is
/home/username:

| $ bash
| $ pwd
| /ldaphome/username
| $ echo $HOME
| /ldaphome/username
| $ zsh
| % pwd
| /home/username

How does zsh determine its home directory and why does it not use $HOME?

The version is 4.3.4 (Ubuntu Hardy).

TIA
 Stephan
