Me, personally, I'm using a combination of $ cat /etc/fstab none /cygdrive cygdrive noacl,binary,nouser,posix=0 0 0 none /tmp usertemp binary,nouser,posix=1 0 0 C:/Users /home bind noacl,binary,exec,posix=0 0 0 $ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf passwd: db group: db db_enum: all db_home: cygwin desc windows db_shell: cygwin desc windows $ This way, I have /home as a convenient access point, while real profile locations are controlled by Windows itself. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Saturday, October 31, 2020 18:46:05 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
