This is (I think) why cygwin puts Administrator@machine> at the prompt. However, I would like people to have a cygwin prompt which recognises their Windows domain username as well as the permissions, so that if they go into a directory with cygwin (for example a mapped Z drive), the windows permissions are taken into account when commands are given at the cygwin prompt. How can this be done? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
