> 
> A fresh installation of the latest cygwin results in no home directory.
> One enters in /usr/bin/<user>. 
> I editted passwd to point to it /home/<user> and created the /home/<user>
> directory manually. This resulted in a correct login. 
> Then CVS however didn't work well anymore in that the administration
> database was not updated in case of a modules checkin.
> 
> I downloaded the previous cygwin version and made a fresh installation of
> this one. It had none of the above problems. After updating this one to
> the latest version (so no fresh installation) the problems did not
> reappear. 
> 
> So it seems to me there is a problem with the fresh latest installation
> procedure.
> 
> The problem is reproducable on my machine.
> I cleaned the registry before each fresh installation (setup).

> The following report <<File: Mattias Brändström - home directory

> 1. cygchecklatest: fresh installation of latest cygwin
> 2. cygcheckprev: fresh installation of previous cygwin
