If the place where /home is supposed to be mounted hasn't been mounted, the last thing you want to do is create an alternate /home. I can imagine the weird problems and reports ("all my files disappeared!"), that doing mkdir -p would cause! My change means that if you can't make the user directory, you just don't try to create the skeleton files in it for them. > >$ diff /etc/profile /etc/profile.orig > >38,39c38 > >< if [ ! -d "$HOME" ] && mkdir "$HOME" > >< then > >--- > > > > > >>if [ ! -d "$HOME" ]; then luke -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
