What about USERNAME and USER?
Some time ago, I changed my /etc/passwd so that Administrator is called
'root' in Cygwin, but USERNAME still points to Administrator instead
USER points to 'root'.
Following this discussion I would ask if we should have, in Cygwin, the
initialization export USERNAME="$USER" in some place...
Ciao,
Angelo.
