From: Steinar Bang <sb@dod.no> To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Problems with users home directory on cygwin64 on Windows 10 Date: Wed, 07 Feb 2018 15:08:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <upzczi4kkfe3.fsf@dod.no> (raw) Platform: Intel i7, Windows 10 Pro Cygwin64 I installed cygwin X yesterday (basically the xorg-server, xlaunch, lxterminal, openssh and mosh). SSH doesn't work in the resulting installation because cygwin believes the home directory is /home/sb. I have set HOME as an environment variable, that in cygwin looks like: HOME=/cygdrive/d/Profiles/sb getent reports the following: sb@ITEM-S63383:~$ getent passwd sb sb:*:1294839:1049089:U-AD-ONE\sb,S-1-5-21-2260904419-1400770398-4175912926-246263:/home/sb:/bin/bash sb@ITEM-S63383:~$ The user "sb" is an AD user and the computer belongs to an active domain. I have tried the following: 1. Adding the following line to the /etc/nsswitch.conf file (also known as C:\cygwin64\etc\nsswitch.conf ): db_home: windows 2. Stopped all cygwin windows, but this didn't help 3. Changed the config to db_home: /%H 4. Stopped all cygwin windows, but the home directory was still /home/sb 5. Changed the /etc/nsswitch.conf file back to db_home: windows 5. Rebooted, but home directory was still /home/sb 6. Checked for /etc/password and/or /etc/group, but no such file were present Any ideas?
