As I mentioned before, I have *two* entries in /etc/passwd, one corresponding to my "senior" account on the local system and one corresponding to the domain account. I've had some really strange behavior as a result. I was able to rsync from the windows box to itself only to discover that the the files that managed to copy were not readable by the login that issued the rsync. senior:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1003:513:U-ROMULUS\senior,S-1-5-21-484763869-1563985344-682003330-1003:/home/senior:/bin/bash senior:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:11112:10545:senior,U-SPACEAPPS\senior,S-1-5-21-893714851-1888236101-3871409848-1112:/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/senior.SPACEAPPS.000:/bin/bash Larry Hall (Cygwin) wrote: > Ken Senior wrote: > > <snip> > >> Some packages (SSH) think the home page should be /home/senior >> whereas the >> default bash shell thinks it's located in /cygdrive/c/Documents and >> Settings/senior.DOMAIN. > > > > This is not surprising.
