My home directory is /ben. For some reason, this version of ssh is ignoring $HOME (despite its documentation) and arbitrarily looking in /home/$USERNAME. A symlink fixed the problem; but any suggestions as to what is going on here? -- 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/
