I have resolved both problems. The first is strange and might be a bug. The problem was that after adding a new env var in Windows it wasn't getting added to my PATH in Cygwin when I ssh'ed in. The only way I could get the var added in was by rebooting my machine. Does the sshd process cache my Windows env vars when it starts? That's all I can come up with because I never had a problem when I would just start a session with cygwin.bat.
The second problem with $HOME was just because I made a stupid mistake and added a %HOME% in Windows. --- Larry Hall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At 10:14 AM 8/18/2004, you wrote: > >I am experiencing some strange login behavior.
