cgwyn

[Scott Prive]

Good question... I've wondered this myself. I tried resetting $USER and $USERNAME, but this doesn't fix it for me. I am running as a non-Administrator account (with Admin rights), and the Cygwin shell thinks I am "Administrator".

(Thankfully, overriding $HOME works just fine.)

I'd suggest posting a question to cygwin at cygwin.com. I have already checked the Cygwin list archives: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/

Just a quick question regarding cgwyn. 
I just installed it on my Win2K system here at work. The quesiton is how 
does one change the user id. 
It defaults to the administrator@<host>.<domain>

The startup script simply invokes bash --login -i through a simple DOS 
script. 

However, I found that it does have an x server, so that you don't need to 
install Hummingbird or other commercial X servers.
