Re: sshd must be restarted

Some packages (SSH) think the home page should be /home/senior whereas the
default bash shell thinks it's located in /cygdrive/c/Documents and
Settings/senior.DOMAIN.


This is not surprising.  You set HOME in your environment to point to
'/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/senior.DOMAIN'.  That's the path you
will see as your home if you log in locally.  ssh finds your path in
'/etc/passwd' and I'm sure you'll find it listed there as '/home/senior'.
Change this with an editor or see the options to 'mkpasswd'.  Or remove/
rename the environment variable.  It's probably easiest to remove the
variable, since everything will then look to '/etc/passwd'
