So it create a different output the second time?!?

What does your /etc/nsswitch.conf look like?

If you set /etc/nsswitch.conf to

  passwd: db
  group: db

stop all Cygwin processes, start a shell and call `id' again, what
does it look like?  Can you provide an strace of `id' with this
setting?


Thanks,
Corinna

This looks strange.  When connecting cygserver fails, Cygwin is supposed
to fall back to reading /etc/passwd (if "files" is given) and if that
fails as well, fall back to "db" (if "db" is given).  And the latter
should produce additional output, which just doesn't show up.  I don't
see why, unless your /etc/nsswitch.conf forbids "db".

This "uid=3D4294967295(Unknown+User) gid=3D4294967295(Unknown+Group)"
should only happen if you have /etc/nsswitch.conf is set to "files"
only, and there's no entry in /etc/passwd with a matching SID.
That's the only way I can reproduce this behaviour.
