Yes, HOME is set in the Windows environment and I am not able to change it. With the "SET" command in a Windows command prompt I can see: HOME=SERVER/USERS5:USERS\SHAUN When you say it only works for entries taken from passwd DB, does that mean I need to create a "/etc/passwd" file in order to change the "db_home" directory with nsswitch.conf? I'm starting mintty with the shortcut generated by the installer: C:\Users\shaun\Apps\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico - -- 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
