This seems weird: when I SSH into a newer MacOS from my workstation, what home directory my user is assigned varies by which Windows shell (or perhaps SSH implementation) I'm using to get there.

cmd (I assume using Microsoft's SSH): /var/empty

Cygwin: /Users/[username]

The environment (i.e. what you see when you type "set") is quite different as well. Very strange.

@dredmorbius Implementation maybe. They both have the same configuration.

The only other possible difference is that WinSSH is v7.7 while Cygwin's is 8.3.
