Hi!
Does Cygwin have something like a Solaris/Linux autofs-style

first time someone uses them, e.g. $ cd /home/chickenmonster/ #
automagically mounts NFS dir mymonsternfs:/export/home/chickenmonster/

I did read that upon installation.
But I read it more as:
"Cygwin is still available to multiple users, depending
on where you install it".
I did not expect it to apply when installing Cygwin into a
private home directory.
And maybe other people read it similar to how I read it.

I've installed cygwin 1.3.18-1 on an XP system and
found it set my home dir as / instead of
/home/NT_USERNAME like it normally does. Within
cygwin, I see that /home isn't even there. Even after
making my homedir, it still still puts me at root when
I launch a shell. I noted that I am not in /etc
to get information from a domain (the default domain). The -u means
to use the information for myusername in the given domain.
I hope this makes sense and helps.
