  Wait, are you saying it still works if you revert your cygwin DLL?  I was
assuming something must have changed on your server since that version was
released, but maybe your server is actually configured to give read access
to world/none, and the checking actually is being done at the cygwin end?
If that's the case you might be able to fix it up by fudging your
/etc/passwd so that it says D1\kjt instead of D2\kjt - the SID will still
point at D2\kjt in any case.

    cheers,
