Hi Corinna,

I solved my problem. I use a notebook and I have a local account and an
account on the DNS server. Although I am logged in with my global account,
Cygwin assumes that I use my local one. This is no wonder, since mkpasswd
stores by default "just" the local accounts in the /etc/passwd. After
exchanging the line with the local account, anything seems to be quite well.

Maybe this should be mensioned somewhere in the FAQ, Cygwin has no chance to
separate between <hostname>\user and <domain>\user. Nevertheless it is
confusing, if you don't know what's happening.

Greetings,
Jörg
