What does your '/etc' directory look like?  It would appear that you either:

   a. Don't have access to it anymore (or key files like '/etc/passwd' and 
'/etc/group').
   b. Something has blown away said files.

How long ago did you install the <http://cygwin.com/acronyms//#3PP> 
NoMachine/NX?
I'd recommend removing this mount and the duplicate DLLs in its 'bin' 
directory of
cygwin1.dll, cygcrypto-0.9.8.dll, and cygz.dll (you may find you can/should 
get rid of
other "cyg" DLLs in that directory as well.)  Then add your Cygwin 
installation to
your Windows path.
