Hi,

I used Cygwin 1.3.10 in w2k server. When a user run
cron, the home 
directory is /cygdrive/f/home/user e.g,

16 * * * * echo $HOME > /cygdrive/f/home/user/testfile

in testfile, the output:

/cygdrive/c

In another w2k server, i also install Cygwin 1.3.10,
user also run the 
above cron, also with home directory /cygdrive/f

the testfile give,

/cygdrive/f/home/user

I used the same setting in Cygwin for the above two
servers. Any idea ?

thanks,

bella
