Re: Base-Files (was Re: Unset TMP/TEMP in profile?)


What about USERNAME and USER?

Some time ago, I changed my /etc/passwd so that Administrator is called 'root' in Cygwin, but USERNAME still points to Administrator instead USER points to 'root'.

Following this discussion I would ask if we should have, in Cygwin, the initialization export USERNAME="$USER" in some place...


Ciao, Angelo.
