Re: No home directory


Check http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html

Basically, you have to add "ntsec" to your CYGWIN environment variable, and
regenerate your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files (with mkpasswd and
mkgroup), making sure they include domain entities if you're logged into a
domain.

This ALMOST works for me, though for some strange reason I still need to do
a manual login after starting "bash --login" in order to have my home
directory assigned properly :-/.
