Thus, the cygwin environment read the "/cygwin/c/cygwin/etc/passwd" file for shell and $HOME. After recent update: the "root" has changed to "/cygdrive/c" Why did this happen and how do I change this to previous?? I have gratuitous shell script / apps / etc. that depend on previous "virtual root". I assume this can now be set via some init. parameter (in bash??). Please advise -- and why the change??
