Cygdrive prefix in $PATH under ssh login?

Hi there,
I have updated to the latest cygwin on my W2K system. As far as I can
tell everything works very well and I am very happy with cygwin (since
the B18 days).
I have a small problem in my remote login setup and would appreciate any
help anybody can offer. I haven't found an answer in the documentation,
faq, or google, but if missed something, please point me to it. I did
try to follow the instructions in the various *.READMEs, but I must have
managed to do something goofy while playing around.
My problem is that under ssh remote login (only) $PATH uses the wrong
cygdrive prefix. All my mounts should be system-wide and the
system-wide cygdrive prefix is '/'. However under ssh login, $PATH
still has /cygdrive/<drive> in it for all elements inherited from the
Windows system environment. On the other hand, under the same remote
session `mount' reports what I expect. Similarly, bash fails to run
many commands (solved by sedding the the /cygdrive prefix out from
$PATH). So most of the environment is consistent with my expectations,
but something is inconsistent at the time $PATH is copied to the cygwin
processes.
I assume this is because somehow the sshd service is inheriting wrong
setting from somewhere, but I have failed to find a way to correct this
problem (presumably an error of mine somewhere!).
Here are the details:
- Running W2K under VMware (cygcheck -s -v -r attached)
- Did iu-config, sshd-config as per docs; sshd starts via
service of its own, not via inetd
- Windows says inetd and sshd have started fine
- Domain account; /etc/passwd and /etc/group ok
- Everything works fine locally
- Remote login (ssh) and ftp works fine
- Windows system environment has:
- $CYGWIN set to `binmode ntsec tty'
- $PATH has cygwin bin directory first in it
- /etc/profile is almost unchanged (I changed the prompt)
- I have no .bashrc in my home directory (/home/lat) so
I should get the default bash environment
- This is after W2K reboot after last changes to service
setups and anything that should affect the environment
(env vars, mounts, ...) in any way
I can fix this by overriding $PATH in my shell setup, so this isn't
fatal. But I would like to inherit the Windows environment for defaults
if possible. For now I can add a little sedding to fix the $PATH in the
login environment, but I'd rather avoid this long term.
I've attached two outputs, first (local.txt) from `echo $PATH' and then
from `ssh localhost echo \$PATH' (remote.txt). Mount says:
$ mount
C:\Users\Lassi\Cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
C:\Users\Lassi\Cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
C:\Users\Lassi\Cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /c type user (textmode,noumount)
o: on /o type user (textmode,noumount)
$ mount -p
Prefix Type Flags
/ user textmode
/ system textmode
This is from a running ssh remote session (no different in the local
session). It seems that only my $PATH is wrong, everything else seems
right :-/
Any help would be greatly appreaciated,
