No.  How often do you change such a central setting as the db_home
setting for all users?

I thought it's clear how Cygwin does it.  Here it is:

  Is homeDrive non-empty?
    If yes, convert to POSIX and use as $HOME.
    If not, is homeDirectory non-empty?=20
      If yes, convert to POSIX and use as $HOME.
      If no, ask the local computer for the user's profile directory.
        If it has one, convert to POSIX and use as home dir
        If not, fallback to /home/$USER.

...which you can change in /etc/fstab.

Right, but there's nothing Cygwin can do about it.  It means, you can't
use this db_home setting if you use ssh sessions, or you use password
authentication (real, or via passwd -R) and mount the drive in a profile.

Btw., what about my TMP/TEMP question?
