This is what I get when I do id:
uid=500(root) gid=513(None)
groups=0(Everyone),513(None),544(Administrators),545(Users)

I am not in a domain just a standalone win2k pro machine.

Here is a copy of my passwd file too:

Everyone:*:0:0:,S-1-1-0::
SYSTEM:*:18:18:,S-1-5-18::
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
ftpuser:*:1002:513:ftp,S-1-5-21-117609710-1993962763-842925246-1002:/home/ftpuser:/bin/sh

Guest:*:501:513:,S-1-5-21-117609710-1993962763-842925246-501:/home/Guest:/bin/sh
IUSR_YODA:*:1000:513:Internet Guest
Account,S-1-5-21-117609710-1993962763-842925246-1000:/home/IUSR_YODA:/bin/sh
IWAM_YODA:*:1001:513:Launch IIS Process
Account,S-1-5-21-117609710-1993962763-842925246-1001:/home/IWAM_YODA:/bin/sh
root:*:500:513:lbohm-U,lbohm,S-1-5-21-117609710-1993962763-842925246-500:/home/root:/bin/sh

The user lbohm is a copy of the NT Administrators account will all the
permissions.
