Subject: Environment changed after installing postgres 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi All,

I have cygwin installed on two machines with X server and it has been 
working very wel.

Now I installed postgresql on one of the machines and the environment 
changed.
Usually, the environment reported the user as 'Administrator', but now 
it reports the user as my Windows login name. (id -un)

On the box with Postgres, $HOME=/
On the other box $HOME=/home/Administrator

The /etc/profile file on both machines checks the $HOME variable and 
sets it if not set.
Looks like on the Postgres machine, the $HOME variable is set before the 
profile is sourced.

THis cause that XFCE does not find any configuration anymore.

I am also having problems starting ipc-daemon, as the PATH variable gets 
altered and I don't know where it is done. (I added D:\cygwin\bin to the 
system Path, but when I start ipc-daemon, it is replaced by 
D:\cygwin\usr\local\bin)

What setting or file will change the PATH, HOME and environment settings 
when cygwin is started?

Thanks
