The two issues you mention are unrelated. See below. > It is up and running OK, except that all local users login into > /cygdrive/c instead of /home/<userid>. Do you have the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files? If you do, are any of the local users in /etc/passwd? What is their home directory set to? Try rebuilding your /etc/passwd and /etc/group: $ for i in (/etc/passwd /etc/group); do mv $i ${i}-backup; done $ mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd $ mkgroup -l > /etc/group and see if you still get that problem. > The length of PATH in DOS is 97 characters, and in cygwin 148 > characters: > > Path=C:\WINNT\System32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem;C:\Program >Files\Centura2.0\;C:\cygwin\bin > > >123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 > 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 > 9 0 1 2 3 4 > > >/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:Path=C:/WINNT/System32:/cygdrive/c/WINNT:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Program > Files/Centura2.0/:/usr/bin > > What have I missed ? The fact that Cygwin translates the Windows path to a POSIX path using the mount information. Also the fact that you have "Path=" as part of the VALUE of the PATH variable.
