Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated Cygwin Package: procmail-3.22-7


Jason,

    sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, basically too busy :(

    I've just started to setup for multiple users and fell at the very first
step!  The README says to
cd ~system.  My problem is that, no matter who I login in as cd ~system
takes me to that users home directory.

    Obviously there is no directory /home/system, so I created it and set
the ownerships to SYSTEM.SYSTEM but cd ~SYSTEM (or ~system) still doesn't
work.  Also cd ~jgeorge does work!

    Help me please.

Jim
