Greetings,

after having played with Cygwin 1.5 on XP SP3 for a long while, for so  
long that I forgot what I initially changed,
I've now tried a fresh install of Cygwin on 1.7 (still with 1.7.0-65) on a  
fresh Windows 7 Professional 32-bit install.

The one thing that got me wondering is that /etc/passwd uses  
/home/$LOGNAME (/home/hans for instance), rather than $USERPROFILE  
(/cygdrive/C/Users/hans), for the home directory.

Is it intentional that Cygwin creates a second home for users?

Thanks.

Best regards
