Greetings:
X-terminals will need to connect to the Win2k box using something other than XDM (until it works) so one must consider telnet or rsh. The native windows telnet daemon is supposed to set environment vars HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH which can then be used by the system login script %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\LOGIN.CMD however in my tests they are not set for any user although the var USERNAME is.
One could easily write a script to search \cygwin\etc\passwd or otherwise use the USERNAME var to determine user specific paths, etc. but I'd like the native facility to work first.
A search of Usenet archives shows this to be a problem in an addon package for NT4 but I didn't find any reference to the problem in Win2k.
Anyone else encountered this?
