Greetings, Corinna Vinschen! >> Last time I checked, $HOME in newly installed Cygwin point to the >> $USERPROFILE >> Which is, quite, logical.

That explains it, thanks. > Otherwise, if -p isn't used and the SAM/AD homedir is empty, the fallback is > /home/$USER again. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@freemail.ru) 30.11.2011, <18:17> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
