It's not necessary, unless you might also run other Bourne shells. If you are, then it makes sense to use .profile instead of ..bash_profile (just don't use any bash extensions there). BTW, if you are appearing as Administrator, and you're actually logging into a domain, it probably means you need to run mkpasswd -d and add the output to /etc/passwd (mkpasswd -d >> /etc/passwd). luke -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
