Hello,

I've installed latest cygwin on my Win2000 using regular NT-user account
(I have no administrator privileges) and I've got warning when starting
cygwin:
"id: cannot find name for user ID 20479"
and I have next default prompt in bash:
"I have no name!@<my machine name> ~"
i.e. cygwin cannot determine my user name...

Related problem - I can not use scp command - it fails with message:
"unknown user 20479"

next example:
$ whoami
whoami: cannot find username for UID 20479

Does anybody know how to setup cygwin so it can distinguish my username?

Might be it LDAP-related problem?

Thanks in advance.
