I had a case when I took my office laptop home and found that in the
Cygwin environment,
commands were not able to find my .ssh directory. It seemed those
commands didn't know
where my home directory was, and was defaulting to "/".
After asking on the Cygwin newsgroups, I received the following comment:

I also have had to deal with this problem. You should certainly read
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html.
After much experimenting and consultation with Corinna, we decided the
best solution for me was:
* Create /etc/passwd and /etc/group files
o For /etc/passwd, I included just my account, and I actually
editted it further to use my preferred username (rather than my
domain username) and my correct home directory
* Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf with:
o passwd: files
o group: files
This is not the generally recommended configuration, but in the
situation where you cannot reach the domain server, it may be the best
alternative. You may or may not need to back these changes out when you
are back at work. I have not had a problem at work, but we are only
loosely connected to the domain, so YMMV.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
After making the changes, I rebooted the machine and now it seems to
work.
Note that when using the PC from home, I also had to set the HOME
environment
variable in the environment variable settings.
Sorry, this was a mistaken post. If an admin can do so, please delete
it. Thanks.
Not sure why you consider this mistaken. I'm not sure whether it's
related but occasionally I also have a problem with ssh not finding
.ssh. It's caused by ssh looking for ~/.ssh while my config dir is in
$HOME/.ssh. These are generally assumed to be the same, but sometimes I
observe the idea of bash what ~ means to get broken, without noticeable
pattern so fare. It then points to /home/$USER while I've configured may
HOME on one machine to be somewhere else. Weird...
