Yes, I am in a windows domain. (But my UID is correctly recognised : the id command returns uid=11135(stein) gid=10545(mkgroup_l_d); the group seems wrong thou) ... > > Also note, that /etc/skel is empty. > > AYS?

You missed my "I have years of unix experience" line ? ;-) The only files in /etc/skel are "." and ".." . You also said in another mail : > You must have missed the message when you started the shell telling you to > run mkpasswd and mkgroup. Until you do that, cygwin has no idea about > different user ids and therefore doesn't know about home directories and > startup scripts either. Should I still do that ? Or "Reinstall" "all" first ? Also nothe the weird things reported by cygcheck. Here is an brief excerpt : bash-2.05b$ mount C:\Program Files\NX Client for Windows\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /mnt/NX/fonts type user (textmode) C:\Documents and Settings\stein\.nx\tmp on /tmp type user (textmode) C:\Program Files\NX Client for Windows on /usr/NX type user (textmode) ...rest is normal... I have the NX client for windows installed (before I installed cygwin). It seems there is some interference ? About the full cygcheck output : I am posting at gmane.org and it does not seem to support attachments. Subsribing would be also pointless, since every mail I send is refused due to the "MS OutLook is too stupid to send plain text" problem.
