When I log in, I seem to be placed in /Users/law.Bliss> IF I type "cd" and hit return, then I'm in //Bliss/law My home vars: //Bliss/law> printenv|grep HOME HOMEPATH=\ HOME=//Bliss/law HOMEDRIVE=i: HOMESHARE=\\BLISS\law My /etc/password, for user "Bliss\law" (why "\" and not "/"?) has //Bliss/law as a home dir as setup sometime in the past when mkpasswd was working (ahh...those were the days... :-))... I'm not sure why it wouldn't have specified my HOME as i:/ . (?) But I don't see where it got /users/law.Bliss -- though it is the temporary cache. If windows/the login process was smart, then I could see /users/law.Bliss being my HOME if the network server wasn't available. But it is, and I don't think windows is that dynamic. So how does what decide if my HOME gets set to //bliss/law, i:/ or [C:]/Users -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
