- Subject: SSH and Home
I've just started using the cygwin SSH, mostly to do CVS, and I have a
problem with %HOME%
I'm logged onto a W2K machine as 'Kevin Jones' and my home env variable
is set to d:\home\kevinj. Whenever I use ssh I get a message that says
"Could not create directory '/home/Kevin Jones/.ssh'"
I assume that SSH is trying to create this directory off my 'c' drive.
I've tried the -l command to no avail. I'm assuming that I have an
environment problem and I have a couple of questions
Why is SSH ignoring my HOME env variable?
Can I force SSH to use a different 'home' than the one it thinks it
needs?
Thanks,
Kevin Jones
