When I run a cygwin bash terminal directly from Windows, I get all the standard Windows environment variables properly set.
However, when I login in via ssh, some are properly set (e.g., $USERPROFILE, $ALLUSERSPROFILE, $HOMEDRIVE) but others are unset (e.g., $TEMP, $TMP, $APPDATA, $LOCALAPPDAT, PROGRAMFILES). - Is this just a weird artifact of the fact that sshd is run by cyg_server rather than by the actual user (which perhaps explains why the variable $USERNAME is set to cyg_server)? - Even so, why would PROGRAMFILES not be set right since that is presumably not user-dependent? - Is there any logic behind which variables work and which ones don't? - Is there any way to "fix" this so that the variables are set "normally"? (I could kluge this by setting them manually in my bashrc but I would prefer for them to be set right automatically) THanks -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
