Hi, I installed on a networked computer, but i don't want my cygwin to be
part of that network as far as username/groups go (I don't want to add all
the users to my group or passwd files)
I was assigned "robert.body" as username and my group name is "mkgroup-l-d"
I would like to change these to "Owner" and "mygroup", and I would like my
default home directory to be /home/Owner (which is really
C:\cygwin\home\owner in windows). The system insists on making my home
directory "/cygdrive/u" even if I modify /etc/passwd file
I read about "mkpasswd -d" - well I don't want people on network added to my
cygwin setup,
I read about "mkgroup -d" - well I want to make my own group
(I did a search through the mailing list archives, and lots of hits on
mkpasswd, but nothing that I need during the many emails i went through)

currently my /etc/passwd is the following, but system just ignores my
"/home/Owner" and just ALWAYS puts me into /cygdrive/u on startup
