  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  This does not look like a local user account.  Is CHI your AD domain
  or your local machine name?

The above occurs if a Windows system call fails, i. e.  LookupAccountSid
probably returns with an error code outlining that it can't contact the
DC.

If you want to use your AD username even when disconnected from the
DC, it really makes sense to generate an /etc/passwd entry for your
user account, as well as /etc/group entries for the AD groups you're
member in.

To create these entries you can use the mkpasswd/mkgroup tools or,
alternatively, the getent tool.  Either way, obviously you must be
connected to your DC when doing so.

Then, if you're disconnected, Cygwin can easily fetch this information
from the local files.


HTH,
Corinna
