I was just wondering about some things under cygwin. I am logged onto 
my WINNT system as user chj in the LIN domain. This user has 
privilages of administrator. However, when I start cygwin, I get the env
variable USER to be administrör (which is Swedish for administrator). 
This, I suppose, is not quite what I should have.

I would actually believe that I should have things done to the 
/etc/passwd and /etc/groups files buyt don't have much of a clue of 
what...

CYGWIN=ntsec
TERM=cygwin
USER=administrat"r
USERDOMAIN=LIN
USERNAME=chj
USERPROFILE=C:\WINNT\Profiles\chj


and other thing, I simply tried to issue a passwd command, it failed 
stating no user chj, and there is, of course, no user chj defined in 
the /etc/passwd file. How do I create such an entry? And how do I 
"connect" it with the user chj in the domain LIN defined on the 
"NT-system"?

TIA,

/ChJ
