I did see something like this at one point.  My passwd file was corrupted.
I had not incremented the user number (element 3 in each record) as I was
hand-editing my passwd file (since I'm on W98 and none of the normal
security facilities work).

Subject: *** CygWin reporting wrong user ID on Win2K ***


Hello List,

I just downloaded and installed the latest version of CygWin onto my Win2k
Pro box and everytime I start up a bash shell it thinks I'm Administrator
even though I'm logged in as a regular user!  Both `whoami' and `id' report
me as being Administrator.  I am logged in as a domain user, but I have
verified that this happens for a local user as well.

I suspect that this isn't normal behavior so I'm wondering if anybody has
any clue as to what could be wrong?  Thanks in advance for any help on this!

- Arcadio
