Larry, I assume that the /etc/skel/.bashrc file is copied to $HOME the first time I run cygwin.bat finishing the install process. Either way, the .bashrc I was talking about was in my home dir.
Is there anything that runs when I add a user or change something in /etc/passwd, the might uncomment out some stuff in .bashrc?
