I get this message the 1st time logging in via 'rlogin':
MS-DOS style path detected:

Preferred POSIX equivalent is:
/Windows/System32/cygwin/usr/spool/mail/Bliss/law
Could any prefix of that path be a symlink with questionable contents?
Cygwin can't use any of the normal methods to find my home
and because USERNAME isn't set it tries 'USER'.
So for a mail-spool dir it looks for
/usr/spool/mail/<USER=Bliss\law>
The backslash is in the USER var.
I would say this is a result of logind corrupting
the environment and losing all of windows's expected environment.
