Hi,
I tested this again. After starting a "local" bash (local means i
start
it via doubleclick from within windows) i can see a "USERPROFILE"
env.-var.
If i do this in an bash started remotely (via sshd) i can't see it
anymore.
So i think this variable comes from Explorer of whatever and is not
initialized
within a ssh-shell session.
This is also reflected by "cygpath -D" which outputs
"/cygdrive/c/%USERPROFILE%/Desktop".
I found no trace where this var is set, so please give me a hint.
It's set inside of Cygwin if possible. It opens the registry and
tries to read the following key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\$USERNAME\ProfileImagePath
If it's available, it's used as $USERPROFILE, otherwise $USERPROFILE
stays empty.
"empty" or "not set" ?
Are you shure you mean $USERNAME in the sense of users login name, or
users SID ?
In "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\" on
my NT4-WS are many folders like
"S-1-5-21-1570706540-1911978263-1210191635-1007/", and so on.
In there is a ProfileImagePath key which contains
"%SystemRoot%\Profiles\admin".
$SYSTEMROOT points to "C:\WINNT" in my ssh-shell.
Mit freundlichen Grüssen,
Oliver Geisen
