That would be an indirect test, that doesn't tell a whole lot if things not work to the expected results. I'm trying different configurations right now, but it seems the result always /home/$USER. And I'm not sure, if it is my misunderstanding, mistakes in my cygwin configuration, or errors in system configuration? It would be wonderful to have a way to directly test different schemes, even if only for current user. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@yandex.ru) 13.01.2015, <06:47> Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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
