Our domain logins have usernames of the form "firstname lastname". Cygwin a=
ssigns the USER env. variable to the "firstname lastname" string, but many =
utilities (such as rsh, passwd)that rely upon seeing a non-space-separated =
username, encounter problems when processing logins, reporting user passwd =
information etc.

Has anyone encountered similar problems and found a successful workaround? =
Can Cygwin be told to map the space-separated Windows domain login to a non=
-space-separated string? Is this a bug in Cygwin's conversion of Windows lo=
gin/user data?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mike
