There is no /cygdrive/c/home/pdavis directory, so there's no .bashrc
file in there to run. Even if I explicitly type
source /cygdrive/c/home/.bashrc
I don't get the aliases defined. Moreover, if I simply type
more ~/.bashrc
I see the correct file.
Will running setup (I assume you mean the cygwin setup.exe) again
automatically re-create /etc/passwd? I'm game to try it.
I'm not sure where it gets the account information from. If it's from
some Windows account data, then I suspect it's creating a separate
pdavis and Pdavis account because the machine has one, pdavis, for local
login, and the other, Pdavis, for logging into the workgroup that we
have setup here. I had forgotten about that earlier. I think normally
I'm logged in to the workgroup (Pdavis) account, and never use the other
one. Would that cause a problem?
Thanks again!
