Description of problem:

The root account misses the usual skel items.
This renders the root account not being configured properly.
As a side-effect some automation/orchestration frameworks might require atomic-specific workaround.
In my case, automation fails to detect the fall-back prompt: "bash-4.3# "
I've also noticed the /root directory is a symlink into /var/roothome which I think might be related. 


  bash-4.3# rpm -qf /root/
  filesystem-3.2-27.fc21.x86_64
  bash-4.3# 

  bash-4.3# ls -la /root/
  total 20
  drwx------.  3 root root 4096 Nov 19 10:48 .
  drwxr-xr-x. 23 root root 4096 Nov 19 10:48 ..
  -rw-------.  1 root root 7171 Oct 29 10:09 anaconda-ks.cfg
  drwx------.  2 root root 4096 Nov 19 10:48 .ssh
  bash-4.3#
