Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] [1.7] Updated: cygwin-1.7.0-66

Hi folks,


I just uploaded a new Cygwin 1.7 test release, 1.7.0-66.


If this doesn't introduce any new regressions, this will (probably)
be the last test release.

Greetings,


after having played with Cygwin 1.5 on XP SP3 for a long while, for so long that I forgot what I initially changed,
I've now tried a fresh install of Cygwin on 1.7 (still with 1.7.0-65) on a fresh Windows 7 Professional 32-bit install.


The one thing that got me wondering is that /etc/passwd uses /home/$LOGNAME (/home/hans for instance), rather than $USERPROFILE (/cygdrive/C/Users/hans), for the home directory.

Is it intentional that Cygwin creates a second home for users?

Thanks.

Best regards
