Platform: Intel i7, Windows 10 Pro
Cygwin64
I installed cygwin X yesterday (basically the xorg-server, xlaunch,
lxterminal, openssh and mosh). SSH doesn't work in the resulting
installation because cygwin believes the home directory is /home/sb.
I have set HOME as an environment variable, that in cygwin looks like:
HOME=/cygdrive/d/Profiles/sb
getent reports the following:
sb@ITEM-S63383:~$ getent passwd sb
sb:*:1294839:1049089:U-AD-ONE\sb,S-1-5-21-2260904419-1400770398-4175912926-246263:/home/sb:/bin/bash
sb@ITEM-S63383:~$
The user "sb" is an AD user and the computer belongs to an active domain.
I have tried the following:
1. Adding the following line to the /etc/nsswitch.conf file (also known
as C:\cygwin64\etc\nsswitch.conf ):
db_home: windows
2. Stopped all cygwin windows, but this didn't help
3. Changed the config to
db_home: /%H
4. Stopped all cygwin windows, but the home directory was still
/home/sb
5. Changed the /etc/nsswitch.conf file back to
db_home: windows
5. Rebooted, but home directory was still /home/sb
6. Checked for /etc/password and/or /etc/group, but no such file were
present
Any ideas?
Thanks!
