I did cat /etc/passwd. I obfuscated certain portions of the output, all of which are characters (no numbers, no spaces, no special characters, all lower case): @FOOBAR /home//Downloads $ cat /etc/passwd SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18:: LocalService:*:19:544:U-NT AUTHORITY\LocalService,S-1-5-19:: NetworkService:*:20:544:U-NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService,S-1-5-20:: Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544:: TrustedInstaller:*:4294967294:4294967294:U-NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller,S-1-5-80-956008885-3418522649-1831038044-1853292631-2271478464:: ashvets:unused:1003:513:,U-FOOBAR\,S-1-5-21-1225255616-1463261690-3474574673-1003:/cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/:/bin/bash I've set the home to /home/ before, closed cygwin and opened it again, no change. I'd do pwd, see that I'm in /cygdrive/h, then I'd execute cd (no parameters, just the command) and I'd be in /cygdrive/h again.
