I have a script to add users to the password file, the first time they bring up cygwin. The script is using the -p option of the mkpasswd to add their home to the passwd file. This did work fine but, in the latest cygwin, the users id is added to the end of the path that was specified. Why did this change? Our users home directory does not end with their user id. thanks -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
