I have a Windows 10 laptop, on which I installed Cygwin. I always log into the machine using my corporate domain account. When I log into the machine from my office, everything Cygwin works fine.
When I log into my laptop from home (which I'm working from home for a while now, due to COVID-19), I still log in using my corporate domain account, but Cygwin acts differently. Here is my user id (from the id command) when I log in from the office: uid=1293438(Mark.Hansen) gid=1049089(Domain Users) ... Here is the same when I've logged in with the machine at home: uid=1293438(MAN+User(244862)) gid=1293438 (MAN) is the domain. The actual problem I'm having is that Cygwin tools like ssh, git, etc. can't find my .ssh directory. They are looking in "/" rather than my home directory. I tried copying my .ssh directory from my home to "/" and although it was created, the files have the wrong permissions and I'm unable to change them. Is there something I can tweak to get Cygwin to understand which user I am so the ssh stuff can start working again? Thanks for any help. -- 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
