Thanks. I was able to get the desired behavior by; 1) adding 'PermitUserEnvironment yes' to /etc/sshd_config 2) restarting sshd, and 3) Adding a new file, ~/.ssh/environment, with the following content APPDATA=C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming Then, logging in via ssh, the new environment has the correct value, and "mingw-get" doesn't litter my CWD with %APPDATA% directories. I was thinking this facility might be made the default via updates to ssh-user-config and ssh-host-config, but 'PermitUserEnvironment' carries a pretty severe warning in 'man sshd_config', so probably not. Those affected will probably find this thread, and the solution, for themselves. -- Chuck -- 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
