In am running Windows XP SP2. I was having trouble with applications
running under CygWin because I originally had spaces in my user names. I
changed all the user names on my system, eliminating all the spaces in
the user names. I then rebooted the computer just in case. Nothing
changed. I then deleted my whole CygWin installation and reinstalled
everything fresh from the web from scratch. Things were still broken in
the same way!! I checked /etc/passwd file. All the user names were
wrong. The user names were the same old user names I had in place before
I changed the names eliminating the spaces. I do not know where CygWin
found a list of those old and obsolete user names containing spaces, but
it did find them somewhere. (probably in the registry). And it used them.
My question. How can I purge those old and now invalid user names so
CygWin uses only the current, correct, and valid user names, user names
without spaces?
Thanks.
