Greetings, Yves!Yes, check the contents of your $HOME environment variable as set in Windows (not Cygwin) by looking at My Computer: Properties: Advanced: Environment Variables. Check both User and System Environment variables sections (user will override system). It is common in corporate environments to use the H drive to point to some remote file system that gets mounted at boot time. That's your real home directory and often the same home directory you'll use on Unix/Linux machines should your company have any of them. Sharing a home directory is a good thing.
Check the contents of your $HOME variable.I start up cygwin and do pwd, and this is my home directory. $ pwd /cygdrive/h But, I don't want it to be in /cygdrive/h. So, what gives? I've run the mkpasswd command like so (while in my /home/<my name> directory): mkpasswd -l -p "$(cygpath -H)" > /etc/passwd At that point, I close my cygwin window and open it again... and same thing when I run pwd. How do I make cygwin think and start in /home/<my name>? I've even mucked with the /etc/passwd for my user account and STILL no result. Very confused...
There's no place like $HOME... :-) -- Andrew DeFaria <http://defaria.com> This space for rent
