This is what I find...: $ cd /home $ ls Administrator TBaker tbaker $ find TBaker TBaker TBaker/.bashrc TBaker/.bash_history TBaker/.bash_profile TBaker/.inputrc $ In other words, all of my files are in /home/tbaker except for the new bash configuration files, which are (the only) files in /home/TBaker. When I upgraded to Cygwin 1.7, I now vaguely recall seeing a message about creating new .bashrc files when I first ran the shell. If I rename 'TBaker' to 'foobar' (to take it out of action) and re-run...: $ procmail VERBOSE=on <test.mbox procmail: [3240] Tue Feb 23 14:59:34 2010 procmail: Locking "/var/spool/mail/TBaker.lock" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/spool/mail/TBaker" procmail: Opening "/var/spool/mail/TBaker" procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock procmail: Unlocking "/var/spool/mail/TBaker.lock" procmail: Notified comsat: "tba...@22513:/var/spool/mail/TBaker" From tba...@tbaker.de Sat Feb 20 16:47:32 2010 Subject: TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST Folder: /var/spool/mail/TBaker 542 Evidently if it does not find /home/TBaker/.procmailrc, it does not go looking for /home/tbaker/.procmailrc. Since my entire file system is based on tbaker, I'd love to find a way to eradicate the "TBaker" from my system entirely. The guy who set up my XP installation many years ago set my login as "TBaker" but it has never caused any practical problems until now.
