Subject: can't set $USER under 1.3.16-1

Up until now, through cygwin 1.3.15-2, I have set my $USER in /etc/profile
to a username different from `id -un`, with the same name set in /etc/passwd.
I have had no problems logging in.

Now, under 1.3.16-1, an attempt is made to login in under `id -un` and
I cannot even telent to my perferred username?  I reinstalled 1.3.15-2,
and everything works as before installing  1.3.16-1?

What else must I do under 1.3.16-1 to set my own username?

Lester
