I haven't been around watching the mailing list long enough, but are there
plans in the works to make the login command work properly? When I say
properly, I mean in the way that it works under a regular Unix system. If
the person who is in charge of that aspect of cygwin wants I will be glad to
help with some debugging stuff. But thanks for the suggestion for the time
being I think it will help.
