Thanks a lot René for this tip. At least after trying
this out, understood that something is wrong, in my
cygwin installation. 

	If I log in (either locally and remotely) I get the
bash prompt, but the .bashrc is not sourced. If I then
type “bash” on the command line then this file gets
sourced. 

	Trying to use “w” from another terminal, would list
the users and the ttys. Under the “WHAT” column I see
“–bash” in case of a simple login – but if I type
“bash” under the login I then see “/usr/bin/bash –l” 

	This means that when I login some other bash (other
than /usr/bin/bash) is called. 

Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards,
O.O.
