No, it's not. I don't have an explanation for the behavior you're seeing. Your solution will work, though it has the disadvantage of setting HOME for all Cygwin users and it won't work for 'ssh', if you ever decide to use that. An alternative that should do the same thing and avoid the problems I mentioned above is to use the '-p' flag to 'mkpasswd'. If you're concerned that you'll forget to add the flag and its option text if you run 'mkpasswd' again, you can always create a mkpasswd alias that includes what you want/need. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
