Corinna This fixes the Win98 home directory issue reported on the cygwin list. It affects most Win98/ME users that don't have a passwd entry for their Windows username, so it may be worth making a special release. Sorry about that. There is a related fix: cygheap->user.name is now set properly on Win98/Me when the Windows and Cygwin usernames differ.
Also, looking at the output of mkpasswd on Win9X made me think it would be more secure to set the passwd field to *.
