I.e. if there's no HOME env. var set and Cygwin is with default nsswitch configuration. You can find Cygwin default profile in the usual place. /etc/skel, that is. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Thursday, March 26, 2020 21:56:38 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
