Hi,

 I have just down loaded the latest cygwin (1.5.9-1).
 I have a script to add users to the password file, the first time they
bring up cygwin. 
 The script is using the -p option of the mkpasswd to add their home to the
passwd file. This
 did work fine but, in the latest cygwin, the users id is added to the end
of the path that was specified. Why did this change?
 Our users home directory does not end with their user id.

  thanks
