strange login behavior

[Erik Weibust <eweibust at yahoo dot com>]

I am experiencing some strange login behavior.  First, some bachground
on my situation.  I prefer the putty terminal over the MS cmd window
that cygwin.bat uses.  So I use putty and ssh into my cygwin account.

Two problems.  One, when I ssh into my acct I'm not getting the latest
PATH entries I've entered via Windows.  I'll show some of my .bashrc:

JAVA_HOME=~/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04
ANT_HOME=~/java/apache-ant-1.6.1
CATALINA_HOME=~/java/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25
MYSQL_HOME=~/mysql

PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/Program\
Files/vim/vim61:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$ANT_HOME/bin:$CATALINA_HOME/bin:$MYSQL_HOME/bin

When I echo my PATH via a MS cmd window I get:
H:\>echo %PATH%
C:\java\Sun\AppServer\BIN;C:\java\apache-ant-1.6.1\BIN;c:\mysql\bin;C:\java\j2sd
k1.4.2_04\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\PROGRA~
1\CA\SHARED~1\SCANEN~1;C:\PROGRA~1\CA\ETRUST~1;

So I would expect that Sun\AppServer entry to show up in my
Putty/Cygwin window.  Any ideas on this?

Second issue (this might should be a seperate email) is related to the
Cygwin shortcut that runs the cygwin.bat.  For some reason my
.bash_profile/.bashrc aren't getting excuted.  And even worse my $HOME
is very different.

In the MS cmd window (via cygwin shortcut) I get:
erikweibust@DALEWEIBUST [/home/erikweibust] $ cd
erikweibust@DALEWEIBUST [~] $ pwd
/cygdrive/c/java/source
erikweibust@DALEWEIBUST [~] $ echo $HOME
/cygdrive/c/java/source

And then in the putty window I get:
erikweibust@DALEWEIBUST [~] $ cd
erikweibust@DALEWEIBUST [~] $ pwd
/home/erikweibust
erikweibust@DALEWEIBUST [~] $ echo $HOME
/home/erikweibust
erikweibust@DALEWEIBUST [~] $

Anybody have any ideas?  I felt like these might be loosely related.

Thanks...
