You don't have the login utility which is part of the base distribution.
The user identification is done by login.

Did you read the README in your /usr/doc/Cygwin directory?

BTW: If you didn't install the last three hours, please update inetutils
and login again since I have replaced the packages a few hours ago.

When updating inetutils, take care that inetd.exe and subsequent
processes doesn't run anymore. If you have changed the configuration
files in /etc (inetd.conf, ftpwelcome, ftpusers, shells and motd)
copy them to another location, to be able to restore them again after
installation.
