It lists your home directory. 1. no need to edit the /etc/passwd file, create one with `mkpasswd'. 2. it depends how you start the bash shell (at least for me), if I run x:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe --options -e bash ... directly from a shortcut the shell opens in the directory where the shortcut is stored (desktop for me), if I run the same command from a batch file which is stored at the Cygwin root it works correct and the bash opens in my home dir as it is defined it in /etc/passwd. > However, I don't understand how my system is working at the moment.
