I believe you'll find discussion of this in the cygwin mailing list archives. It is documented too, although admittedly not in an especially prominent place. I re-found it just now in usr/doc/bash-2.05a/COMPAT (which documents incompatibilities between the current bash and the previous widely-available version, 1.14), item 15: Bash no longer auto-exports the HOME, PATH, SHELL, TERM, HOSTNAME, HOSTTYPE, MACHTYPE, or OSTYPE variables. I'll bet your Debian box is running a slightly older bash than is now included with Cygwin. stephan(); -----Original Message----- From: Jerome BENOIT [mailto:520066587150-0001 AT t-online DOT de] Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2002 2:25 PM To: Gerrit P.
