$ cd $HOME

/c/Users/rjt_jr
$ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd: files db
group: files db
db_enum: cache builtin
db_home: windows cygwin desc
db_shell: windows cygwin desc
db_gecos: windows cygwin desc
$ ssh-keygen.exe -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (//MYCORPSHARE/USERS/rjt_jr/.ssh/id_rsa): ^C
When I run ssh it also tries to create //MYCORPSHARE/USERS/rjt_jr/.ssh instead of correctly using ~/.ssh.
Windows variable %HOMESHARE% had been pointing to //MYCORPSHARE/USERS/rjt_jr, but I used SETX to reset it to C:Usersrjt_jr. This did not change the behavior.
I have no idea what windows setting or variable is pointing ssh to the wrong directory.
