I installed windows whoami and tried it and see the following result.
uday_p AT uday-xp ~
$ /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Resource\ Kit/whoami
MYDOM\uday_p
I am in the domain MYDOM.
I hear from other users in my group that this works with older versions of cygwin. I guess I will try that tomorrow.
In the meanwhile, if someone can point out either my / sysad issue, I can fix them.
Thanks and Regards
Uday
