I safe to
delete the majority of the users from the passwd file, mainly just leaving my
own login? I'm guessing there are some "admin" type users that probably need
to still be there. Is there a list of the users to keep, because my file if
very, very long?
Thanks....

Have you tried "hard-coding" the $HOME you want for the user in the
/etc/passwd? That worked for me.

stion, Is there any reason to
define the vars in cygwin.bat over my .bashrc? I don't like the
behavior of the windows command window so I use putty to ssh into my
machine.

Larry,
I assume that the /etc/skel/.bashrc file is copied to
$HOME the first time I run cygwin.bat finishing the
install process. Either way, the .bashrc I was
talking about was in my home dir.
Is there anything that runs when I add a user or
change something in /etc/passwd, the might uncomment
I'm not sure what cygcheck will do for me, but I know
that the alias for ls is set in ~/.bashrc. This is in
the section titled:
# Some example alias instructions
Again, my problem is why do I have two different
~/.bashrc files on two "complete" installs. I would
expect the setup.exe program to
I have just installed cygwin on two machines. I did a
complete install, per the instructions on the faq.
My problem is that some things are different on my
machines. A simple one is that ls acts differently.
Note, this is without making any changes to aliases or

I am installing cygwin on a friends computer and his
windows username has a space in it. I know this is a
problem. What do you reccomend that I do.
Do I need to add a new windows user or is there a way

Larry,
Thanks for all the help. Sorry to keep beating this
subject down, but I hope this can be my last question.
What problems will I have with simply changing the
path for my home dir in /etc/passwd?
Do I have to use the mkpasswd cmd that you showed
below?
Thanks,
Erik

I have a very strange cygwin problem.
Background. I have been using cygwin without problem
for 2 years. Yesterday I needed/wanted to use the
uptime cmd. I didn't have it so I downloaded the
setup program and tried to add it. I had a number of
problems getting it installed so I decieded to just
