Yes, but that's something you'll have to take up with the people who 
maintain that file, presumably on the Samhain mailing list.  Whoever 
wrote it doesn't realize that /usr, /home, etc aren't created in c:\, 
they're mount(1) aliases for directories that actually live in 
c:\cygwin, by default.

Whoever wrote that document probably doesn't know about cygrunsrv.
