Is it readable by the administrator? This could have happened if you've introduced ntsec into your CYGWIN environment variable, and your /etc/passwd wasn't readable by the administrator. Also, the `pwd` looks wrong, what's the output of mount on your machine? Another possibility is if you've lost your registry settings and SIDs, which could happen if you've reinstalled Win2k.
