| Subject: Re: whoami and id returns "administrator" instead of 
| my userid
| 
| 
| It looks like my problem is due to an ambiguous configuration of my
| NT workstation.
| 
| If I look at
|         Computer Management :: System Tools :: Local Users 
| and Groups :: Users
| I find
|         Administrator
|         atg
|         Guest
| 
| cygwin/mkpasswd is using these values
| 
| KANE:/etc> mkpasswd -l
| Everyone:*:0:0:,S-1-1-0::
| SYSTEM:*:18:18:,S-1-5-18::
| Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
| Administrator::500:513:,S-1-5-21-1606980848-1563985344-1708537
| 768-500:/home/Administrator:/bin/sh
| atg::1000:513:atg,S-1-5-21-1606980848-1563985344-1708537768-10
| 00:/home/atg:/bin/sh
| Guest::501:513:,S-1-5-21-1606980848-1563985344-1708537768-501:
| /home/Guest:/bin/sh
| 
| It lookslike  the NT is storing my network userid elsewhere.

| >mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd

Use mkpasswd -d > /etc/passwd instead.
