Subject:	how does cygwin see what user I am in windows?

Hi!

I have some questions about how cygwin determines what user I am logged 
in as on my Win2000 machine.

I have installed cygwin on my Win2000 machine and I am logged on that 
one as DOMAIN/userx. DOMAIN/userx is not a local user for my machine but 
a user in the domain DOMAIN. Now when I start cygwin 'id -un' reports 
that my username is Administrator and creates a home directory for me 
named /home/Administrator. That's not what I want. I want /home/userx as 
my home directory. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Regards,
Mattias
