What does /etc/passwd say is your home directory?

Can I be another user?

[Charles Krug]

Hello:

When I launch Cygwin under NT, I'm put into the home directory for
Administrator, rather than my home directory.

Is there any option to Bash that can change this?

Under the old version, I HOME to point to my directory, cd to $HOME,
then launch bash.

I certainly can do that again if bash doesn't have a parameter for this.

Thanks


Charles
