Subject: Adding NT domain users in cygwin?

I'd like to be able to add NT-domain users in the cygwin system (like
linux adduser of useradd).

When installing cygwin on my w2k box there was an administrator account
created and a /home/administrator was created and /etc/passwd had
administrator in it and /etc/group was there with Administrators, the
works. 

Starting the cygwin system brought me into this account.

Now, I wanted to have my NT-domain account, chj, as login.

What I did was this.

mkpasswd -d | grep chj >> /etc/passwd
mkgroup -d | grep chj >> /etc/group

and then when I started the cygwin system I got into the chj account
(with "homedir" //servus/chj, hmm, is this good, didn't we abandon //?)

However, I get a failure like this:

bash: LOGNAME: parameter null or not set

chj@BOTTEN ~
$

That happens when I start the cygwin system.

Now, a couple of questions.

Is this the appropriate way of adding NT-domain users to the cygwin
system?

What is this thing about LOGNAME? Can I do anything to correct it?

Cheers,

/ChJ

Oh, here's my output of cygcheck -r -s -v:
