that would have been too easy...

my company has at least two (big) windos infrastructures.
migration into only one is ongoing. But don't ask details,
I'm only a user.

snippet from 'net config workstation':
...
Workstation domain                   EMEA
...
Logon domain                         AD1

made with mkpasswd -l -d,   homepath changed for my account.

the first cygcheck output doesn't show the HOSTNAME environment.

ojeh, not really...
i substituted some names in order not to expose my companies internals.
maybe too much of paranoia. and too sloppy not to have different names.

[...same user/hostname test...] (sorry for that, really)

BTDT, attached.
and believe me ... there is no /etc/passwd with 9 lines ;)

P.S.: is it a problem to symlink
"/cygdrive/d/Documents and Settings" to '/cygdrive/d/home'?
the second shell is working well. so does the 1.5 setup (for years).
pro: .ssh/ and Desktop/ are the same as on linux/solaris
