Without the information requested here: > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html (including cygcheck -svr output as a text attachment), we can only guess. However, it seems like your installation failed to run the base-files postinstall script properly, otherwise starting a login shell would have run cygwin's /etc/profile that creates a user environment each time a previously unknown user starts up. If this is the case, rerunning setup.exe and selecting base-files for reinstallation may fix your situation. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
