'cygcheck -s -r -v' output given below.

The output shows that my home directory is:

    HOME = `/cygdrive/c/home2/schwarza'

which is incorrect. This was my home directory under Cygwin-B20.1 but I
thought that when I uninstalled B20.1 that all residual information was
removed. In any case, I've tried to find just where HOME is exported during
'bash --login -i' and have not been successful. What I have found is that
in bash-2.05-7/shell.c there is a reference to 'getpwuid' in 'login'
processing, which references /etc/passwd for information. I changed my
'name' in /etc/passwd and verified that this change was in the output
prompt, currently a two liner. First line is

     '</etc/passwd user name>@<disk name>',

which in my case is 'schwarza AT ARTHURSC'. But the home directory in
/etc/passwd isn't used. Instead, the home directory used for the
uninstalled B20.1 becomes my new home.

I would like to look at 'getpwuid' to find out what it does. Anyone know
where it might be located? I would really like to find out where in the
'login' the HOME directory is found and exported. I intend to keep 'looking
at the code' until it's found.

The last point is that I changed the Registry after the initial problems
where detected. This accounts for key entries of:

    /.../cygnus solutions   and
    /.../cygnus solutions'

and I do note that under /.../cygnust solutions' the '02' mount correctly
identifies my home directory as /root/home/schwarza, but it wasn't used
initially and I don't know what to make of it now.

After uninstall of B20.1 and installation of v1.3.3 my 'old' home directory

(/home/<name). I've looked through the FAQ and the User's Guide, and
looked through the source (bash-2.05-7/shell.c). I've changed my
/etc/passwd to ensure that it is accessed by getpwuid in shell.c, and
modified all of the 'cygnus solutions' entries in the Win98 registry to
reference /home/<name as needed. In /etc/profile $HOME is used and I
haven't found where $HOME is exported. The easy workaround is to put a
.bashrc file changing $HOME in the 'old' home and just forget it. But I'd
like to find out why this is happening and fix it (if it needs fixing) or
do something to cause the 'new' home to be referenced at shell startup. Any
idea what is going on?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 I assume you're using bash --login and that your /etc/passwd entry  points
to /home/<name and that /home/<name exists.  Too many  assumptions?

 Maybe you should verify this.

 Output from cygcheck -s -r -v would make your environment clearer to
those  that don't have access to your machine.  As I'm sure you're  aware,
your  issue is a local configuration problem.
