I have installed Cygwin on a Win2K box here at my job. The Cygwin environment appears to operate (I can open the Cygwin terminal and execute commands successfully.) However, Cygwin has installed with a strange userid. When I type whoami the answer is 'SMSCliSvcAcct&'. My home directory is /home/Administrator. The /etc/passwd file Cygwin created contains
Everyone:*:0:0:,S-1-1-0:: SYSTEM:*:18:18:,S-1-5-18:: Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544:: Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:513:U-E182960\Administrator,S-1-5-21-1061762173-587356633-675955863-500:/home/Administrator:/bin/bash cadcamadmin:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1005:513:cadcamadmin,U-E182960\cadcamadmin,S-1-5-21-1061762172-587356637-675955861-1005:/home/cadcamadmin:/bin/bash Guest:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:501:513:U-E182960\Guest,S-1-5-21-1061762172-587356637-675955861-501:/home/Guest:/bin/bash SMSCliSvcAcct&:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1001:513:SMSCliSvcAcct&,U-E182960\SMSCliSvcAcct&,S-1-5-21-1061762172-587356637-675955861-1001:/home/SMSCliSvcAcct&:/bin/bash SMSCliToknAcct&:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1002:513:SMSCliToknAcct&,U-E182960\SMSCliToknAcct&,S-1-5-21-1061762172-587356637-675955861-1002:/home/SMSCliToknAcct&:/bin/bash I have tried modifying the fourth line of the passwd file as follows foo7873:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:513:U-E182960\Administrator,S-1-5-21-1061762173-587356633-675955863-500:/home/foo78783:/bin/bash where foo7873 is the userid I use to login to this box. I also renamed the folder C:\cygwin\home\Administrator to C:\cygwin\home\foo7873 After this, when I restart Cygwin and type whoami the answer is foo7873, but Cygwin still thinks my home directory should be /home/Administrator and creates a new folder by that name. I suppose it's not a big deal but I would prefer my home directory to be /home/foo7873 How can I accomplish this?
