Hi,

I've been using cygwin for some time, but yesterday when
I started it my home variable seems to be screwed up.

I'm running NT 4.0, and my HOME variable is 
set to my linux machine samba-mounted home directory.

When I start cygwin, and type type "set", it says 

HOME=quit

But a DOS prompt says HOME="s:\"

I typed export HOME="s:"
and this reset the cygwin variable in cygwin, but when I type
> cd
> pwd

I get 

quit

I have no idea what I did.  I re-installed cygwin but this 
did not seem to fix the problem.  I also checked my 
.bashrc for something that might be resetting it, but I 
couldn't find anything.
 
Can anyone help me?

Thanks!
Taber
