I wish I could get my own messages on this list, so I could add more information to my first note.
Running the installer again made no difference. It still thinks my HOME is "/". I don't know what environment variables are set or inspected by cygwin. I see that the "USERNAME" variable seems to have my expected value. I tried running "mkpasswd -d" and grepping for my userid, and it was there (along with many others). I can "fix" the environment in the mintty shell by setting HOME to "/home/<myuid>" and then sourcing my .bashrc and .bash_profile. That doesn't help my Emacs desktop shortcut, which uses "run2". I noticed that when I do an "ls -lt" in my homedir, instead of the owner and group of files being my simple uid, it's something like "<MYDOMAIN>+User(1944941)" and "2993517" (group and user, respectively, I believe). -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
