To answer your questions in turn:
/ is c:\cygwin, I would assume therefore that /home is c:\cygwin\home and,
yes, I am a domain user.
The odd thing is I've had cygwin working on my machine before with no
problems. Is this passwd change a new requirement?
To my knowledge, the only change I made, at the suggestion of Michael
Erdely's SSHD setup page (http://tech.erdelynet.com/cygwin-sshd.asp) was to
change the CYGWIN variable to "ntsec tty" (was just "tty").
He seems to suggest that this is the best setting for W2K with NTFS,
although I have no idea what the "ntsec" means.

Where is /, /home, and are you on a domain, or it is local users??

If domain, you should probably upgrade the /etc/passwd as stated in
the faq somewhere..
