(I'd include home directory > in that list, except I know I can just set $HOME) You can set $USER the same way, you know? But that's a wrong way to go. IMO. You are supposed to be yourself, means, your login name. Else you'd have alot of stuff mishandled. But the change is indeed good. I hope that would solve the user/group encoding issues when using terminals with different charset. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdaemon@yandex.ru) 23.01.2014, <21:12> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
