I reckon that /etc/profile ends just after "++ id -ng" (fell through the switch without hitting any of the cases) and you're now in ~/.bash_profile, which includes these lines right at the start ... # source the users bashrc if it exists if [ -e "${HOME}/.bashrc" ] ; then source "${HOME}/.bashrc" fi Hopefully the quotes there will protect the space in $HOME, and it just means that you need to d2u ~/.bash_profile. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- 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/
