I found my problem. I was starting an SSH session with a user whose 
default shell was fish (horrible idea). I thought that, when doing `su` 
and changing to root, the next shell should be also executed as a login 
shell, and that is not true. Only the first shell was executed as a 
login shell (which turned out to do nothing as fish does not follow 
standards very well).

Summing up, changing the user default shell to ash solved the problem 
when using SSH, and I tested directly in the raspberry loging in as the 
root user and ash is also executed as a login shell. No problems on 
Alpine side but mine. =P

Sorry for the inconvenience.
