Arthur,
As far as I can tell running the latest Cygwin and Cygwin package set, the

% id
uid=1002(RSchulz) gid=513(None)
groups=513(None),544(Administrators),547(Power Users),545(Users)
% id -un

Step 1: Type "id" in bash and find what groups you are part of.
id will only show the Windows groups that are in /etc/group,
so that file has to be

The following genuine fix worked for me:

Subject: Re: HOME set to / [Was: cygwin-1.3.16-1]
To: Eric Hanchrow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

HOME is set to /;
2) Id is now that of my domain (jmarcel:unknown), and I think it was
Administrator:none (which I'm less concerned with, as our machines are
single user laptops/clients);

For what it's worth, I too had this problem on Windows 2000, but I was
able to work around it by putting
set HOME=/home/Administrator
into my cygwin.bat.

OK, tried this too as suggested: then started up Cygwin 16-1 but to no

echo $HOME

rather than
echo $HOME
/home/fergus

No. I manually edit /etc/passwd after a fresh Cygwin install. Otherwise my
name and group are both "unknown". Which is fine by me, as (deliberately) I
do not have a Windows userna

Thank you. Here is startup location and the information you requested in
cygwin-1.3.15-2:

Strange consequence of upgrading from cygwin-1.3.15-2 to 1.3.16-1: instead
of starting off in ~ with ~/.bash_profile correctly read, now start in /
with ~/.bash_profile not read. Both /etc/group and /etc/passwd are
unaltered. However Cygwin now seems to know my username but not my group,
