I'm sure this question has been asked many times, but I couldn't find the
solution in the archives.

I've been using Cygwin for a few years now, and the install has always worked
great.  Today I started getting the following error when I installed it (at my
new job):

Error (2): The system cannot find the file specified.

Your username or group hasn't been setup correctly.
  This typically happens if you are a domain user
  (cygwin does not automatically create /etc/passwd or
   /etc/group for domain users)

In /etc/group, I have:

mkgroup_l_d:S-1-5-21-3941461891-1737259440-******-513:10513:

In /etc/passwd, I have:

mraible:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:11187:10513:mraible,U-LAF\mraible,S-1-5-21-*****-1187:/cygdrive/c/Documents
and Settings/mraible:/bin/bash

Here's some relevant output from "cygcheck -svr"

C:\Tools\cygwin\bin\id.exe output (nontsec)
UID: 11187(mraible)  GID: 10513(mkgroup_l_d)
10513(mkgroup_l_d)

C:\Tools\cygwin\bin\id.exe output (ntsec)
UID: 11187(mraible)  GID: 10513(mkgroup_l_d)
544(Administrators)  547(Power Users)
545(Users)           10513(mkgroup_l_d)

Thanks,

Matt
