Quite interesting. My id command gives ("Josette" is the name of the user
and "PC-de-Josette" is the name of the computer)
Josette
unused
1000
513
U-PC-de-Josette\Josette,S-1-5-21-81082327-430422718-1981534784-1000
/home/Josette
/bin/bash

and the echo $Home command gives "/home/Josette"

So it seems quite correct. It does not explain why the mintty console does
not open in the home directory, but it seems to prove that it is only a
console problem.

As you can see, the user name is in the computer name, so the grep command
was not effective and I got all users listed. I noticed the following entry.
"
sshd
unused
1002
513
sshd 
privsep,U-PC-de-Josette\sshd,S-1-5-21-81082327-430422718-1981534784-1002
/var/empty
/bin/false
"
Does it seem also correct ? If not it could explain my sshd problems ?
