[ECOS] Fw: [ECOS] access cvs server problem (solved)

["H Girard" <hgirard at broadbandnetdevices dot com>]

setting the HOME variable fixed the problem for me:
can be set in the .profile file (bash ) (placed in the cygwin directory
worked for me)  :

first mount the drive where cygwin is located , in this example  m: , then
define & export the variable HOME

mount -f m:/ /m
....
HOME=m:/cygwin
export HOME

the shell that is opened will save the password in m:/cygwin/.cvspass for
future accesses
