Change the username to lower case on Your Windows login or at least within cygwins /etc/passwd ...
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Smiley Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 5:25 PM To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: username should be lower-case for $USER I am new to Cygwin. I noticed that the $USER environment variable has my username in upper-case. So it is "DSMILEY". On unix based hosts I log into, it is always lower-case. So if I try to SSH to another machine where I have the same login name, I can't let SSH automatically default to $USER because the case isn't right. *Even if* Windows user names are case sensitive and so there is a difference between DSMILEY and dsmiley (are they?, I don't know) I think $USER should be made to be all lower-case to be consistent with unix environments. ~ David Smiley -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/username-should-be-lower-case-for-%24USER-tf294715 6.html#a8241120 Sent from the Cygwin Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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/ -- 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/
